Yemeni military commander: US threats do not frighten us
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] The commander of the al-Wahbi Brigades, Major General Bakil Saleh al-Wahbi, confirmed that the American designation under the so-called "terrorism list" exposed the true face of the US administration in serving the Zionist entity and its partnership in killing women and kiddies 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...
The al-Wahbi Brigades commander explained that "American decisions, along with the unjust Security Council resolutions and all lists and extortion decisions, are [dirt] under our feet, as expressed by all the sons of Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
He emphasised that "the revolutionary and politicianship, along with the Yemeni armed forces and the Yemeni people, will not be deterred by such decisions from continuing support for the brothers in Gaza, no matter the sacrifices."

They will also continue to target Israeli ships and those cooperating with them, as well as targeting the warships and American ships that have attacked our country and naval forces, he added.

The al-Wahbi Brigades commander said, "The Americans should know that our stance towards our brothers in Paleostine is firm, and our stance towards America as an entrenched and rooted enemy for the past 22 years since the martyr leader Sayyid Hussein al-Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
launched the cry against the arrogant ones on January 17, 2002."

He added, "Our only fear is that God will designate us as hypocrites if we do not support our brothers in Gaza. However,
it's easy to be generous with someone else's money...
America’s decision, the official sponsor of terrorism in the world, will not frighten us. The issuance of such lists reveals the extent of fear and terror they have of Yemen’s courageous and strong position in supporting the Paleostinian people."

Al-Wahbi reiterated that our stance as a people and armed forces in supporting brothers in Gaza is a religious, ethical, and humanitarian stance that aligns with all international laws, divine norms, and cannot be changed.

Ansarullah Political Bureau: US practises hypocrisy and lies
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] Member of Ansarallah Political Bureau in Sana’a, Ali al-Qahoum, stated "America is still practicing misinformation, hypocrisy, and lies. During the war on Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
, under the supervision of the US, America used to raise banners against Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
and fabricate phobias and false narratives that it repeated during those years."

"Yemen declared itself as a country, leadership, and people united in supporting Paleostine and carrying out strategic and major operations to strike Israel and target its ships in the Red Sea. In response, the US and Britannia declared its presence through foreign military bases and military deployment in the Red Sea. The US and UK have declared a direct aggression on Yemen in service and protection of Israel." al-Qahoum said.

He clarified that the pretext for the Americans remains the same and has not changed since they first fabricated Iranian involvement in Yemen despite Iran’s absence in the country over the past nine years.

In a post on his "X" account, al-Qahoum pointed out that the leader of the revolution, Sayyid Abdul-Malik al-Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
, has expanded the equation in the Red Sea to include Israel, America, and Britannia today, confirming that it is a fixed equation until the aggression on 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...
is stopped and the siege is lifted.

Al-Qahuom mentioned that these ships and the American and British military presence in the Red Sea are within the range of the Yemeni Armed Forces’ bank of targets. The Yemeni naval forces translated the directives and decisions of the leader of the revolution after America, Britannia, and Israel expanded their aggression on Yemen. In response, Yemen has expanded its military operations.

He stated that Israeli and American-British ships that entered the bank of targets are exposed to direct attacks, and Yemen’s long arm is capable of that. Yemen is engaged in an open war, and its confrontation is ongoing with full alertness, preparations, and mobilization.

Al-Qahuom concluded his post by saying: "America and its allies have two choices and no third option — either choose to stop their aggression in Gaza, Paleostine, and Yemen, or bear painful strikes and expand the scope of the confrontation. They initiated the war, and there is no escape from it. An unjust aggressor cannot escape the consequences of his wrong actions."

Europe
EU adopts sanctions target six individuals involved in financing Hamas — senior official
It would be awfully nice to know who they are...
[IsraelTimes] The European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
adopts a dedicated sanctions regime targeting Paleostinian terror group Hamas
...the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,...
, a high-ranking EU official says, adding that the first measures would target six people involved in the financing of Hamas.

"What we are doing now — it has been done today and I think it will be announced in the coming hours — [is that] we have adopted a dedicated regime for Hamas. We have listed six people" the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said.

The official added the six people were all from Arab or African countries and were all involved in financing Hamas, which has become the subject of Western reprisal after its assault on Israel last October.

First Amendment, motherfuckers. We'll say whatever we goddamned well please. And if you don't like that, you can go pound sand.


Ann Arbor are obviously idiots,for fuck's sake. But you know what? Freedom of speech includes the ability to say whatever you like, even if it's wrong. And it includes the freedom to make a complete ass of yourself in public like Ann Arbor is doing. I can't believe I'm saying this, but 100% support to those fuckfaces in Ann Arbor. Because you know what? They're fuckfaces, but they are AMERICAN fuckfaces. And you NEVER FUCKING FORGET THAT!

Since we know the N.E.A. runs & controls many schools curriculum's in democrat areas.

So one might correctly assume, there is an N.E.A. political association with Hamas?

Which then calls into question the OBAMA, Biden, and the demo-rats support of the N.E.A., its perverse agenda and generally seen anti-semantic positions.

It became rampant after November 1989 when the wall came down. Instead of going after the Marxists and communist agents, allies, and simps with vigor and payback, we let them continue to infest our institutions. It's like a cancer. It certainly wasn't benign.

Guess what, its not absolute.
Threaten bodily harm to someone and its Assault, Battery is the consummation of that threat.
Libel someone other than Donald Trump and find out how expensive can be.
Call upon the overthrow of the government and unless you succeed, its sedition.

Now if you are an absolutist, I recommend going into the hood and address some homies with a long tirade with lots of 'N' words. Good luck.

International-UN-NGOs
In Davos, next to photo of Kfir Bibas, Herzog says Israelis unable to think about peace talks now
[IsraelTimes] Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland
...home of the Helvetians, famous for cheese, watches, yodeling, and William Tell...
, next to a photo of one-year-old hostage Kfir Bibas, President Isaac Herzog says that Israelis are not able to think about a grinding of the peace processor with the Paleostinians right now.

"Nobody in his right mind is willing now to think about what will be the right solution of the peace agreements," he says. "Everyone wants to know that he will not be attacked in the same way from north or south or east."

"Israel lost trust in the grinding of the peace processores because they see that terror is glorified by our neighbors," says Herzog.

The president stresses that the "the war is not only between Israel and Hamas
...the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
"The world has to face it point blank: There is an empire of evil emanating from Iran," says Herzog, adding that such activities are going to "undermine any grinding of the peace processor and any stability in the world."

Herzog says the Hamas terror group must be uprooted to "enable a better future for the Paleostinians who are our neighbors." He continues by saying that Israel is also fighting for the entire free world, and that Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
and the United States are next.

Herzog calls for "a very strong coalition" to come together to face Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
and its proxies.

He accuses the world of "not giving a damn" about Israeli terror victims in the years before October 7.

Asked about the day after the war, Herzog says he envisions a "coalition of nations who are willing to commit to rebuilding 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...
" in a way that enables the safety of Israelis and Paleostinians, and a different future for Gaza.

He says the coalition would be made of "strong Western forces, strong regional forces," in dialogue with Gazooks and the Paleostinian Authority.

Herzog also reveals that he met with officials from the Red Thingy in Israel two days ago, "to discuss the dire medical situation of the hostages, the clear and present danger to our hostages."

"We are praying that all the medication... will reach them, but that’s only the beginning," he adds.

Health minister issues directive barring treatment of Gazans in Israeli hospitals
[IsraelTimes] Health Minister Uriel Busso orders Health Ministry director-general Moshe Bar Siman-Tov this morning to immediately cancel instructions issued yesterday by defense officials allowing the treatment of Gazooks and individuals from Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
in Israeli hospitals.

Busso says that the policy of allowing treatment of Gazook terrorists, and others from combat areas brought into the country by the IDF, only in IDF medical facilities has not changed.

The minister claims that the instructions issued by the defense establishment yesterday were sent to hospital administrators without his knowledge or approval and that no formal discussion occurred between him, Health Ministry staff and defense representatives.

Busso directed Bar Siman-Tov today to inform defense officials that any requests for changes to the policy that has been in place since soon after October 7 must be brought to him and be considered in serious, professional deliberations under his auspices.

EU’s top diplomat: Palestinian state may need to be imposed on Israel from outside

foreign policy chief Josep Borrell argues ’actors too opposed to reach an agreement autonomously’; US says ’no way’ to ensure Israeli security without a Paleostinian state after Netanyahu rejects notion.

Hamas squads said training in plain view of Gaza border surveillance on October 3
So lots of warnings, but nobody at the top put it together — at least in part because Hamas had been doing things for several years, but never actually broke through. Until they did.
[IsraelTimes] Father of fallen soldier tells Channel 12 his son saw dozens of terror operatives in combat drills with jeeps, assault riles near border with Israel: ‘The writing was on the wall’

Squads of Hamas
...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
operatives were training in plain view of Israel Defense Forces observations posts and surveillance cameras along the border four days before the terror group’s shock October 7 attack on southern Israel, according to a television news report on Wednesday evening.

#1  Well, if they don't heed the call "Get out of your house & start running!", they have nobody to blame but themselves.

#2  So they don't only know that they are bombing civilians, but they know exactly *who* they a retargeting?


Do they or do they not realize that this removes the last legal fig leaf of "it wasn't a war crime because there was no intent"?


My guess is that the left hand isn't talking to the right hand.Some JAG needs to light a fire under Mossad and tell them to stop these calls immediately.

#3  "The enemy exploits such information to try to ensure the presence of our brother fighters in houses it intends to target," Hezbollah said in a statement.

Smart.

#4  tell them to stop these calls immediately.

Looking at it from the perspective of streamlining business processes, this is a great opportunity to contact people about their car warranty or installing new storm windows, as well as marketing surveys and targeting.

#5  Re #2: As I understand the Geneva Convention, it is a war crime to use human shields, to place weapons in hospitals, schools and mosques. If an attacker attacks these people/sites, it is not the attacker who is the war criminal. It is the side that used human shields, etc.

#6  #2 knows that. It's inconvenient to the narrative against the Jooos.

#7  I would add, right after 9/11 some imam said, "there are no civilians." Let's hold them to that.

#8  Anjem Choudary, and specifically journalists, them being spies.

#9  I was unaware that they had Ring doorbells in Lebanon.
