Attack on IDf Checkpoint is WILDLY Suspect

There was a professional AFP photographer there taking pictures BEFORE it started. The gunmen were driving an Israeli vehicle. Home demolitions started immediately stealing people's property that had NOTHING to do with the attack. And of course... the election is in 3 days. And oh yeah, Palestinian militias have been helping the IDF for DECADES. What's even worse is the fact that Smotrich and others immediately went over there to do campaign ads in front of bulldozers destroying homes because, as the rest of the world recoils from the collective punishment, Israeli citizens must be expected to want to vote for the monsters doing this inhumane stuff. Zionism is a mental illness.

How Trump, Israel and big tech are driving Latin America to the right

from Middle East Eye

The Stars and Stripes, Israeli flags and Trump memorabilia are familiar sights at far-right rallies in Brazil, as they are around the world. 

Last weekend, though, organisers asked Flavio Bolsonaro’s supporters to “put away” flags from “other countries”.

On Sao Paulo's Avenida Paulista, eight lanes of traffic became a sea of Selecao yellow. The 45-year-old son of Brazil's jailed former president, who has been endorsed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, faces 80-year-old incumbent Lula da Silva in Sunday’s presidential runoff.

If Bolsonaro Jr knocks out the region's most prominent leftist president, pro-Israel right-wing leaders will be in place in every country across Latin America save Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Cuba and Uruguay. 

This dramatic shift, which has taken place over just 18 months, has featured the active involvement of the US government and American and Israeli-backed tech firms and social media platforms...

Israel-Backed Palestinian Militias Terrorize Displaced Families in Gaza

from Drop Site News

Youssef Al-Sheikh was asleep with his wife and eight young children in a room on the ground floor of a badly damaged building in the wasteland of northern Gaza’s Jabaliya refugee camp when the group of masked, heavily armed members of an Israeli-backed Palestinian militia broke down the door and stormed inside. It was around 2 a.m. on the night of September 24. Decked out in tactical gear and with their assault rifles pointing menacingly down at his family, they began shouting at Al-Sheikh to get up. The light from their military headlamps pierced the darkness, blinding Al-Sheikh.

“They came inside, and as soon as they entered, one of them raised his Kalashnikov and aimed it at me while I was here,” Al-Sheikh told Drop Site News, pointing to the only bed in the room, made up of thin mattress laid on a thin piece of wood propped up on concrete blocks.

“About seven people came in. They all had flashlights on them—bright white lights, extremely powerful flashlights,” he said. “With all the white light, I couldn’t see who was in front of me.”...

Israeli settler violence in West Bank spiraling out of control

(Zionism is a mental illness) 

from Daily Sabah

UN. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned Thursday that escalating violence in the Israeli-occupied West Bank has spiraled out of control, with mounting attacks by Israeli settler terrorists threatening to forcibly displace Palestinian communities from their land.

"In the occupied West Bank, Palestinians continue to suffer daily attacks by Israeli settlers. The clear goal is to drive communities off their land," Guterres told reporters.

He said the situation in the occupied territories is "simply out of control" as Israeli illegal settlers also target journalists and diplomats.

On Gaza, the U.N. chief pointed out that essential humanitarian assistance remains "severely restricted" ahead of winter, compounding obstacles facing the Security Council-backed roadmap to resolve the conflict...

Israeli settlers suspected of attacking journalist and diplomats released

(Israel continues to show the world they are a rogue nation that supports terrorists and criminals. Someone threw a rock to defend themselves so these petty little cowardly thugs are allowed to viciously attack a woman, kick her while she's on the ground and then steal everything their little hands could grab. It is a sick nation to the core and they prove it every fucking day.)

(Zionism is a mental illness) 

from Middle East Eye 

Nine of the 10 Israeli settlers arrested on suspicion of attacking a Washington Post photojournalist and European diplomats over the weekend have been released from custody, Haaretz reported on Wednesday.

A Jerusalem District Court released five suspects on Wednesday, while police released another. Three others had been released on the day of their arrest on Monday, according to the report.

The court found that police had presented evidence linking the suspects to the attacks. However, the judge said the incident took place “in the midst of a much larger event of massive stone-throwing” by Palestinians.

Four of the suspects, all settlers from the occupied West Bank, were released by the court despite police requests to extend their detention.

US Troops and Diplomats Evacuating Posts Across the Middle East

from AntiWar

The US military has been scaling back its presence at bases across the Middle East, and the US has ordered staff reductions at multiple diplomatic posts in the region, NBC News reported Wednesday, amid growing signs that the US and Israel may be preparing to launch another attack on Iran.

Sources told NBC that similar drawdowns were carried out before the US and Israel launched the war against Iran on February 28. US troops at bases in Jordan are among those that have been moved as Iran pounded the facilities during exchanges of strikes in the summer, attacks that caused significant US casualties. The US is also pulling troops out of facilities in Kuwait and Qatar.

One US official told the outlet that moving troops out of harm’s way was part of the US military’s planning as President Trump considers restarting “major combat operations” against Iran potentially before or after the November 3 US midterm elections. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also appears eager to restart the bombing campaign as he’s facing elections in less than a week...

The Israeli leader went on to claim that Iran’s new supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, is pursuing nuclear weapons, a claim he’s been making about the Islamic Republic for decades...
