[Breitbart] Muslim Democrats Andre Carson, Rashida Tlaib, and Ilhan Omar say they are "horrified" by GOP plans that would halt Palestinian legal immigration to the United States.
This week, Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-MT) and other House Republicans introduced legislation to ban the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from providing green cards, visas, refugee status, and parole to Palestinians.
Zinke’s legislation also would revoke visas for Palestinians in the United States, thus making them eligible for deportation.
"This legislation keeps America safe," Zinke said of the legislation. "I don’t trust the Biden Administration any more than I do the Palestinian Authority to screen who is allowed to come into the United States."
In response, Carson, Tlaib, and Omar issued a joint statement where they called Zinke’s legislation "xenophobic, punitive, and [an] unconstitutional measure."
"As the three Muslim Members of Congress, we are horrified by Rep. Ryan Zinke’s recently introduced bill to pause all visas, refugee status, and granting of asylum for individuals holding a passport issued by the Palestinian Authority indefinitely — and to revoke others," they said:

The existence of Rashida Tlaid (D-Hamas) and Ilhan Omar (D-AlShabaab) stand witness that we made a mistake admitting these communities at all. Stop digging the hole deeper by closing off entry, and dig out a bit of it by expelling all those who are illegals or law breakers (including rioting).
[FoxNews] The Air Force estimates the new rule will lead to 50 additional recruits per year
The Air Force and Space Force are raising the maximum age applicants can enlist as the services continue to search for ways to alleviate ongoing recruiting struggles.
Those interested in joining the Air Force or Space Force will have until they are 42-years-old to sign up, a three-year rise in the age limit that was previously set at 39, according to a report from Military.com. The change means that the two branches will now be accepting the oldest recruits of any Department of Defense military branch
"Air Force Recruiting is glad to see a change in the age component of the accessions process," Brig. Gen. Chris Amrhein, the Air Force Recruiting Service commander, said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital. "This change, which aligns us with DOD accessions policy, is about identifying opportunity for talent out there. But make no mistake, we are not lowering any of our standards; someone who is 42 still has to meet the same accession requirements as younger applicants."
The change comes after the Air Force announced last month that it had missed its active duty recruiting goals by 11%, falling nearly 3,000 recruits short of the 26,877 that the service said it needed, according to Military.com.
The failure to meet recruiting goals extended to other branches as well, the report noted, with the Army and Navy also falling short of this year's goal. Only the Marine Corps was able to meet its recruiting goals this year, though the report notes that the branch "squeaked by" and has also struggled to meet National Guard and officer goals.

But wouldn't using older personnel conflict with the NEW Normal indoctrination and re-education processes that the Biden Puppet government controllers have put in place to tone down the Military's Testosterone levels?
Isn't there another dimension to this completely understandable and over-due recruitment disaster - that quality has been lowered just to get to the failed recruitment numbers? And how about retention trends? Gotta be horrible.
Another dissent memo? The lost support was never there to begin with, dood.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The Biden administration has been warned by US diplomats in the Arab world it is 'losing us Arab publics for a generation' with its support for Israel's campaign in Gaza, according to a diplomatic cable seen by CNN.
A confidential message from the US Embassy in Oman on Wednesday read, 'we are losing badly on the messaging battlespace' as Arab leaders judge the US' support for Israel's 'material and moral culpability in what they consider to be possible war crimes'.
The cable, from the second-highest official in Muscat, was sent to security outfits including the White House's National Security Council, the CIA and the FBI, and cited conversations with 'a wide range of trusted and sober-minded contacts'.
Rights organizations and protestors have mounted pressure on Israel-aligned governments to call for a ceasefire in recent weeks, amid a devastating bombardment of the Gaza Strip.
The Hamas-run Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza says 10,800 Palestinians have been killed in the conflict, including 4,400 children. In the occupied West Bank, more than 160 Palestinians have been killed.
More than 1,400 people were slaughtered when Hamas gunmen stormed Israel on October 7, and about 240 hostages were taken from Israel into Gaza.

[KavkazUzel] The head of Ingushetia instructed the government of the republic to organize a collection of aid for the Palestinians and called on residents to participate in it.
That’s nice. How much of what’s collected will actually leave the area, and of that how much will actually get to those suffering in Gaza?
As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov , the head of Kabardino-Balkaria, Kazbek Kokov, and the head of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov, reported on sending and collecting aid for Palestine after the beginning of the aggravation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict .
Muslims of the North Caucasus did not remain indifferent to the aggravation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Thus, in Chechnya, the clergy organizes daily mass prayers in support of Palestine, and on October 17, residents of Dagestan tried to hold an action in the central square of Makhachkala, which was dispersed by security forces. The muftiates of Dagestan and Karachay-Cherkessia reported on thousands of participants in prayers in support of Palestine.
In Cherkessk and Khasavyurt, protests were held against the arrival of refugees from Israel to the North Caucasus. The Coordination Center for Muslims of the North Caucasus called anti-Semitic actions unacceptable and urged not to regard the opinion of their participants as the opinion of the people.
The head of Ingushetia, Mahmud-Ali Kalimatov , said that the republic’s authorities intend to join in collecting aid for the Palestinians. “Russia is among the countries providing assistance to the people of Palestine. Channels have been established for sending humanitarian supplies to them. In this regard, we plan to contribute to this volunteer mission. I have instructed the government to organize this work,” he wrote today in his Telegram channel.
He called on the residents of Ingushetia to join in the collection of assistance. “Any resident of the republic can join the humanitarian action. Today, helping with clothes, food, and other basic necessities is the least we can do for these people who find themselves in a difficult situation.
The "Caucasian Knot" also wrote that Ingushetia has more than once occupied the last lines in ratings regarding the socio-economic situation. Thus, the republic took last place in the ranking for high salaries - only 8.8% of Ingushetia residents receive salaries above the Russian average. Ingushetia was also in penultimate place in the North Caucasian Federal District in terms of teachers’ salaries; their average monthly salary in January-March of this year was 26,547 rubles .
The fighting between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas movement began on October 7 with the firing of hundreds of rockets into Israeli territory, including civilian targets and civilians. The Israel Defense Forces responded by launching the Iron Swords military operation against Hamas, after which Israel announced a blockade of the Gaza Strip: supplies of water, food, electricity, medicine, and fuel were suspended. Thousands of people died on both sides.
The Islamic movement Hamas is recognized as terrorist in a number of countries: in particular, France and the European Union added it to the list of terrorist groups after the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. In Russia, the movement has not been declared terrorist, since none of its representatives have been convicted in Russia, the Prosecutor General’s Office said in response to a request from a deputy from St. Petersburg.
People do notice when one is ever so firm in two opposite directions on subsequent days.
[IsraelTimes] French President Emmanuel Macron tells the BBC there is "no justification" for Israel’s bombing of "these babies, these ladies, these old people" and reiterates his call for a ceasefire in Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... Macron expresses his hope that other Western leaders will join his call.
He claims the "clear conclusion" from the Western governments and others who participated in a Gaza humanitarian aid conference in Gay Paree earlier this week was "that there is no other solution than first a humanitarian pause, going to a ceasefire, which will allow [us] to protect... all civilians having nothing to do with [the] terrorists."
"De facto — today, civilians are bombed — de facto. These babies, these ladies, these old people are bombed and killed. So there is no reason for that and no legitimacy. So we do urge Israel to stop," he tells BBC during the lengthy interview.
"It’s extremely important for all of us because of our principles, because we are democracies. It’s important for the mid-to-long run as well for the security of Israel itself, to recognize that all lives matter," he says.
Macron rejects the notion that the best way for Israel to "protect [itself] is having a large bombing of Gaza," saying it was creating "resentment and bad feelings" in the region.
[IsraelTimes] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responds to French President Emmanuel Macron’s call for Israel to stop bombing “these babies, these ladies, these old people” in Gaza, saying the responsibility for civilian deaths lies with Hamas.
“While Israel is doing everything to refrain from harming civilians and calling on them to leave areas of fighting, Hamas-ISIS is doing everything to prevent them from leaving for safe areas and is using them as human shields,” Netanyahu says in a statement from his office, likening the Gaza-ruling terror group to the Islamic State jihadist organization.
Netanyahu says that Hamas is “cruelly holding our hostages — woman, children and the elderly — in a crime against humanity” and “uses schools, mosques and hospitals as terror command centers.”
“These crimes that Hamas-ISIS is coming today in Gaza, will tomorrow be committed in Paris, New York and everywhere around the world. World leaders must condemn Hamas-ISIS and not Israel,” the premier adds.

Bit of an about-face, eh? Perhaps Macron got word from French security that things are about to get spicy with the local Paleo factions. Perhaps a change in position will head that off.
/me puts a chip on Not
The Israelis are going to root out Hamas. Doing that will involve a lot of seriously unfortunate collateral damage. The world is lamenting over how seriously unfortunate that has been and will be. But I don't hear anyone offering a better solution than what the Israelis are doing now.
The IDF eliminated Ahmed Siam, a company commander of Hamas's Naser Radwan Company, the terrorist responsible for holding approximately 1,000 Gazan residents hostage in Gaza's Rantisi Hospital preventing them from evacuating south to safety, the IDF said on Saturday.
The assassination succeeded with the efforts of both the IDF and the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency). Ground and air troops participated in the operation.
Ahmed Siam was killed while hiding in a school.
In case you wondered where HAMAS/MSM stats on killed Gazan children come from
[GEO.TV] As the corpse count in Israeli aggression on Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks.

It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

In an opinion piece, United Nations Agency for Paleostinian Refugees (UNRWA) chief Philippe Lazzarini wrote: "To the contrary, it is creating a new generation of aggrieved Paleostinians who are likely to continue the cycle of violence. The carnage simply must stop."
On a social media post, he said over 100 UNRWA colleagues were confirmed killed in one month of war, noting that included parents, teachers, nurses, doctors and support staff.
Unabated Israeli bombardment, land, air and sea attacks on the civilian population in the besieged enclave compelled the local residents to flee to the south of the territory in recent days, often on foot and with only the things they could carry.

IMO, one of the reasons the Transnational Left is so roused because they afraid that Iron Swords will inspire others to fight back. For from Zion shall go forth the Law and the Word of God from Jerusalem.

israel has two natural borders the river and the sea. gaza and the west-bank are part of israel. jews may live anywhere in israel. others may live in israel if they submit to israel law. others are encouraged to vacate the premises.
thats my opinion.

Exclusive: #CCP Military Experts on #TunnelWarfare Hide and Trapped in #Gaza
According to disclosures by Chinese YouTuber Professor Liu Zheng, several #Chinese #military experts on tunnel warfare are hidden within #Hamas's tunnels. These experts have advised that tunnel entrances and rocket launch sites be placed in schools, hospitals, and churches, using civilians as human shields in hopes of evading #Israeli artillery fire.
As the Israeli military tightens its siege and offensive on #Gaza, these military advisors and tunnel warfare specialists, desperate to survive, have repeatedly requested to leave Gaza and enter #Egypt under the guise of foreign tourists.
However, to their surprise, the senior leadership of Hamas will not let them leave.
Hoist with the very petard they built for their hosts. Funny, no?
The #CCP has had to send two delegations of envoys to #Doha and #Qatar to negotiate with the Hamas leadership the conditions for the withdrawal of Chinese military advisors and technical experts from Gaza.
“Avi, Yossi — keep an eye out for a coupla Chinese bodies in the tunnels, ‘kay? Their owners want them back.”
The video of Hamas's tunnels is a direct emulation of the tunnel warfare model from Hebei, #China. This video is a clip from the famous Chinese military instructional film, "#TunnelWarfare （地道战）."
This movie was released in 1965, and I watched it many times when I was young; it was a very popular film at that time.
The things young people find amusing! I was into foreign languages and the historical development of early Christianity at that age, so I understand the attraction to obscure topics.
In a recent press conference, when asked whether a Hamas delegation would visit China, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson #WangWenbin did not deny it and said that China has always maintained contact with all parties.
This is tantamount to admitting that the Hamas delegation will indeed visit China.
Originally, the CCP's support for Hamas was conducted in secret, but Hamas openly boasts that China and #Russia are its supporters, seemingly seeking to tie the CCP to its cause.
Now that the CCP's tunnel warfare military experts are trapped in Gaza, the CCP also finds itself in a difficult position, hence the lack of denial about the impending visit of Hamas to China.
[IsraelTimes] The IDF is expecting to be fighting in Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... for a year, Channel 12 reports. It says the IDF is set to expand its ground operations into areas where the IDF has never operated before.
"There is no pressure to hurry," the unsourced report says.
"That is the message army commanders are being told all the time: Work slowly and securely. Bring the results."
The report says the IDF is "preparing for a period of a year of fighting... in different areas... different methods, but a year of fighting to get to the fourth stage of this war: The entry of a new government in Gaza that is not Hamas ...a regional Iranian catspaw,... and is not backed by the Iranians."
“IDF forces will remain in control of the Strip, we will not give it to international forces,” Netanyahu tells the southern mayors, according to a readout from his spokesperson.
US officials have raised the idea in recent weeks that an international force of sorts, possibly with troops from neighboring Arab allies would manage security in the Gaza Strip for an interim period until it can be returned to a functioning Palestinian government, which Washington hopes will be the Palestinian Authority.
However, in his comments to the southern mayors, Netanyahu appears to reject the idea outright.

Given the fact Hamas, Hezbollah, PLO and others radicals operating out of GAZA.
Given in just 2022 alone, there were over 5,000 terror attacks originating from Palestinian controlled areas.
Given well over 90% of those attacks target innocent Israeli civilians and children in NON-Military areas.
The reality is simple.
The Palestine Government has FAILED to address the terrorist problem originating from their nation and have broken EVERY Peace and Non-Hostility agreement with Israel to date.
Note:These Peace Agreements were what setup the Gaza political domain to begin with.
So Israel is doing what ANY nation would do (just like the U.S. did after 9-11) to protect its citizens against State sponsored/condoned Terrorism.

One might say that USA made Iran regional super power by removing it's only natural enemy, Ebbease Panda9307. And therefore is responsible, for the evil Iran does.
One might also ask "What proof do you have that Hamas is 'Qatar Operation'?"
Or, one can just notice that you compare US congressman waving an Israeli flag to Obama, and draw the appropriate conclusions.
[Caucasian Knot] A native of Dagestan, who was successful in Moscow, tells why he had quitted his job, home, family and went to Syria, where he joined the militants of the terrorist organization "Islamic State" (IS). Unknown earlier career details in the IS of the nephew of the head of Ingushetia Yunus Bek Evkurov; the story of the battles, in which the base of the 17th Division of the Syrian Army was defeated; about how militants organized the "Safari in Syrian Way" by hunting the retreating soldiers of al-Assad in the desert; why those who come to Syria later get disappointed in militants’ ideas, — read about all that in the material of the "Caucasian Knot". The publication doesn’t aim at propaganda or counterpropaganda — the main idea is to make public little-known facts of what happens in Iraq and Syria, and a story of how and why a person starts sharing the ideas of terrorists, but then abandons them.
The "Caucasian Knot" has no proof that the militant Umalat Evkurov is in kinship with the head of the Republic of Ingushetia.

[Regnum] When the United States openly declared itself allies of Israel in the next Middle East conflict, they became a legitimate military target for pro-Iranian and anti-Israeli forces, says orientalist Artyom Kirpichenok . He stated this on November 9 to a Regnum correspondent.
academia dot edu shows Artem Kirpichenok with only 1 published paper. That not enough to be considered an orientalist or anything. Maybe a first years masters student.
Earlier, Al Mayadeen TV channel reported that the Syrian army entered into battle with American forces in areas under their control near the Euphrates River.
“As soon as the Great Patriotic War began, the United States decided to concentrate all its attention on Eastern Europe. As for the Middle East, Saudi Arabia and Israel were left in charge there, which, as we know, did not cope with the situation. Now the United States is returning to the Middle East, but I have great doubts that they will want to open a new, full-fledged front there,” Kirpichenok said.
In his opinion, most likely, now the United States wants Israel to complete its operation in the Gaza Strip as quickly as possible so that they can focus all their attention on Ukraine.
As for the shootings in Syria and Iraq, the expert explained that (illegally located) American bases are being attacked there. And this is explained by the fact that the US military is “sitting on the route” along which Iran supplies its allies through Iraq and Syria. First of all, Hezbollah and other Shiite groups that operate in alliance with the government of Bashar al-Assad in Syria.
“That is why the Americans are now being attacked, one of the most important goals of which is to clear the way for Iranian supplies, which will most likely go to the south of Syria and Lebanon,” Kirpichenok is sure .
At the same time, he believes that a major war in Syria is unlikely. Firstly, Assad has recently reached an agreement with Arab countries that previously supported the Syrian opposition. Secondly, there is an agreement with Iran and the Saudis, and Turkey is in no hurry to intensify hostilities. In addition, Syrian society is so exhausted by the war that it does not want another conflict.
Earlier , Regnum news agency reported that the US military exchanged fire with Syrian soldiers east of the provincial center of Deir ez-Zor, which is located 420 km from Damascus. Both sides used heavy artillery, heavy machine guns and mortars.
Previously, nine people were killed in Syria after US Air Force strikes ordered by President Joe Biden on weapons depots belonging to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and associated groups.
According to former White House employee Paul Craig Roberts, the United States wants to provoke new wars in the Middle East and drag other countries into the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
Was Mr. Roberts a writer of dissent memos, too, back when he actually had something to dissent about?

[Regnum] Iran is not involved in recent attacks on US military bases in the Middle East. This was stated on November 10 by the permanent representative of the Islamic Republic to the UN, Amir-Said Irvani.
“Iran is not involved in any of the attacks on American troops and military bases in the Middle East region,” Iranian state agency Tasnim quoted Irvani as saying.
He noted that other forces in the Middle East may be involved in the attacks, adding that if the Palestinian-Israeli conflict continues, the war could spread to the entire region.
The expansion of the scale of the conflict in the Middle East is inevitable due to the increasing intensity of Israeli military actions against the Gaza Strip, said Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian.
“Due to the increasing intensity of the war against the civilian population of Gaza, an expansion of the scale of the war has now become inevitable,” the Tasnim agency quoted the diplomat as saying .
As reported by IA Regnum , previously The New York Times, citing several officials in the administration of United States President Joe Biden , reported that Washington fears that Israel's long-term military campaign in Gaza could provoke a larger-scale conflict in the Middle East, and the United States and Israel isolation threatens as the world calls for a ceasefire.
Hamas Politburo member Musa Abu Marzouk said that a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip depends on the United States, which is “completely in control of the war.” According to him, American drones are in the skies over Gaza, and warships are off the coast of Palestine. All countries in the region are under pressure to save Israel, he said.
As Regnum reported , on the morning of November 9, at least 15 missiles were fired at an American military base in the area of the El-Omar oil field in eastern Syria. The Shiite movement Iraqi Islamic Resistance claimed responsibility for the attack.
A powerful explosion was heard near the Al-Harir military airfield in Erbil province in Iraqi Kurdistan, where American forces are concentrated . According to eyewitnesses, the explosion was clearly heard in the vicinity of the military base. A drone was spotted in the sky.
Earlier it became known that three American military bases in Iraq and Syria, where US military personnel are present, were attacked. It is noted that the Ain al-Assad base in the Iraqi province of Anbar was attacked at least twice with the help of drones. Another drone attack was carried out on a US military facility in the Syrian border town of Tanf. In addition, armed Shiite units belonging to the Islamic Resistance of Iraq fired at a base located north of the administrative center of Erbil in Iraqi Kurdistan.
