[Breitbart] Reform UK leader Nigel Farage warned that Britannia is facing a "national emergency" as apparent illegal boat migrants colonists were filmed chanting "Allahu Akbar" as they crossed the English Channel.
The Channel migrant crisis continued over the weekend as 435 illegal aliens were brought ashore at the port of Dover on Saturday after crossing the busy waterway from the beaches of La Belle France in seven small boats organised by people smuggling gangs. So far this year, a record pace of illegal arrivals has been seen, totalling over 25,000 since January.
On Sunday, Brexit boss Nigel Farage shared footage of what appeared to be one of the migrant boats crossing the Channel, comprised — as is typical — of mostly young, military age males. In the footage, the illegals could be heard shouting what sounded to be the Islamic declaration "Allahu Akbar".
The phrase, often used by jihadists as a battle cry, is typically translated in the West as "God is great". However,
Caliphornia hasn't yet slid into the ocean, no matter how hard it's tried... others have noted that a more accurate translation would be "Allah is greater" or, in other words, "Allah Is Greater Than Your God or Government."
Accompanying the footage was text in Arabic, which the Reform leader translated as: "The Forces of the Iraqi Spear, from the heart of the British Seas, the leadership of the Militia Abu Hamad."
"These men will now be free to roam our streets thanks to [Prime Minister] Keir Starmer. This is a national security emergency," Mr Farage warned.
"Allowing these men to invade our country will not end well," he added.
Replacement population to punish the natives with.
[Breitbart] The British government has admitted that it has no idea whether over 150,000 legal migrants colonists who entered the country on social care visas are still in the UK or not.
A significant cohort of the so-called "Boriswave" of migrants colonists that flooded the country following post-Brexit immigration reforms under former Prime Minister Boris Johnson ...pro-Brexit British prime minister, succeeding no-Brexit Theresa May. BoJo is noted as much for his sparkling personality and his hair as for his Conservative policies....> is entirely unaccounted for, as the government failed to record data on whether they left the country, switched work visas, or are remaining in the country illegally.
Under Johnson’s 2022 immigration liberalisation — which led to historic levels of migration despite him having promised to lower immigration — the government added care staff to the "skilled worker" route, leading to 154,402 five-year visas being issued since then.
However,
we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by... many such migrants colonists likely entered as family members of social care workers until chain migration was banned for the category the following year, after which the number of visas fell tenfold, falling from 107,772 in 2023 to just 9,539 in 2024, The Telegraph reported. The social care immigration route was ultimately scrapped earlier this year.
According to the broadsheet, the government’s care minister, Stephen Kinnock, told parliament that his department "does not hold data that directly links visa status to ongoing employment in adult social care or residence in the United Kingdom over time."
"As such, it is not possible to estimate the number or proportion of individuals who entered the UK on a social care work visa and who are still in the UK or working in the social care sector," the Labour MP admitted.
Kinnock said that some may have returned to their home countries, while others may have switched their visas for another migration category. Yet, given the lack of data, it is also possible that many simply remained illegally in the country as visa overstayers.
[Ynet] German Chancellor Friedrich Merz faced sharp criticism, primarily from his own party and its voter base, after announcing on Friday a halt to arms exports to Israel that could be used in the Gaza war.
Alexander Hoffmann, leader of the Christian Social Union (CSU) faction in Bavaria, a sister party to Merz’s conservatives, called the decision contentious and unilateral. "Our party wasn’t involved and it demands at least some explanation," Hoffmann said, adding that internal coalition discussions would follow in the coming days.
Former Interior Minister and CSU honorary chairman Horst Seehofer labeled it a "misguided foreign policy mistake with far-reaching consequences." CSU parliamentarian Stefan Pilsinger echoed the sentiment, highlighting the benefits Germany reaps from security cooperation with Israel, particularly in air defense and intelligence.
Berlin’s outgoing culture senator, Joe Chialo, also a party member, wrote in Bild that withholding arms from Israel is arrogant and hypocritical. "If Berlin or Munich were attacked, we’d beg for Iron Dome. This embargo betrays our core values," he warned.
Online, users accused Merz of weakening Israel at a critical time, with some calling it a "blow to a democratic ally." Sven Mayer, a commenter, criticized Merz for abandoning his campaign promise to reverse the previous government’s anti-Israel stance, saying, "Now we’ve got Chancellor Friedrich Baerbock."

Fortunately the USA is holding strong. D and R both voted yesterday to continue lethal aid to Israel. Good to see Nevertrump and Dem traitors are good for something, at least.
[IsrelTimes] Dermer reportedly told security cabinet before vote on Gaza City takeover that Israel should only pursue a deal that frees all captives; mediators said presenting Hamas an offer for comprehensive deal
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will only pursue a deal with Hamas ..always the voice of sweet reason... going forward that includes the release of all remaining hostages, with US President Donald Trump ...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US... saying he agrees with the premier’s assessment that Hamas will not agree to a deal under the current circumstances, according to reports Monday.
"The prime minister would be willing to hold negotiations [for a deal] under conditions that we set for ending the war — and only if all the hostages were to be returned. Until then, we will not participate whatsoever in negotiations," Channel 12 news quoted unnamed sources close to the premier as saying.
Netanyahu’s stance on whether to pursue a partial or comprehensive deal was unclear after the security cabinet decided Thursday to capture 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 a rusty 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... City, and the premier dodged multiple questions on the matter during a presser Sunday. The network said it now appears he is siding with his top adviser, Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, who reportedly urged against any partial deals during Thursday’s security cabinet meeting.
Trump on Monday told Axios that he does not believe Hamas will agree to a deal under the current circumstances in Gaza, and declined to endorse or oppose Netanyahu’s recently approved plan to take over Gaza City in the north of the Strip.
In a brief phone interview with the outlet, "the president seemed to agree with [Netanyahu’s] argument that more military pressure on Hamas is required," according to Axios.
Trump added that Israel must decide what the next steps are in Gaza and whether to allow Hamas to remain there, while saying he believes that "they can’t stay there."
The US president described his Sunday phone call with Netanyahu — during which the two leaders addressed the Gaza City operation — as a "good call."
"I have one thing to say: remember October 7, remember October 7," Trump told Axios, referring to Hamas’s 2023 massacre that started the ongoing war.
The remark echoed comments made by Netanyahu during his two pressers on Sunday, in the wake of the dramatic cabinet decision, that "there are those who have forgotten October 7."
The security cabinet on Thursday night approved a proposal by Netanyahu to take over the densely populated Gaza City in the northern part of the Paleostinian enclave, bucking warnings from the army that the operation risks the lives of the remaining hostages in addition to potentially sparking a humanitarian disaster.
The only votes against the plan were from Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, both of whom seek to occupy the Strip permanently, in order to push Paleostinians out of the enclave and reestablish Jewish settlements in their place.
Associates of Smotrich were pleased on Monday after the report that Netanyahu would no longer discuss partial deals, several Hebrew media outlets reported.
Officials in Smotrich’s inner circle said the finance minister would demand that Netanyahu stand by the reported decision and aim for a quick, total victory over Hamas.
DERMER SAID TO REJECT PARTIAL DEALS AT CABINET MEETING
Channel 12’s report that Netanyahu has rejected partial deals came as Hebrew media said Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer had argued for the same position during the cabinet meeting last week at which the Gaza takeover plan was approved.
The reports, which contained nearly identical quotes of Dermer but did not attribute them to any sources, noted that the minister cited American opposition to allowing a return to fighting.
"We don’t have all the time [we want], also from the Trump point of view," the reports quoted him saying. "He cannot allow the war to continue for a long time."
Dermer told ministers that "assuming talks continue for a long time, we can’t afford a partial deal. I’m not sure that after a 60-day truce we’ll have the leeway to return to fighting," according to the reports.
Responding to his comments, Netanyahu reportedly asked Dermer: "So if Hamas comes with a partial deal, we refuse?"
Dermer reportedly replied: "If there’s a proposal like that, it seems so."
According to Channel 12, National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi took the opposite side of the debate, urging Netanyahu not to close the door to a partial deal.
"I don’t understand how someone who saw the videos of [hostages] Evyatar [David] and Rom [Braslavski], as well as all the others that were published before them, can say: ’Everything or nothing,'" Hanegbi said, according to quotes reported by Channel 12 over the weekend.
"The significance of this [decision] is giving up on the chance to immediately save 10 hostages," Hanegbi reportedly said.
US MEDIATOR: FULL DEAL IS REACHABLE, BUT MONTHS AWAY Meanwhile,
...back at the buffalo wallow, Yellow Wolf clutched at his chest and fell from his horse... Bishara Bahbah, a Paleostinian-American activist who has served as a mediator in previous hostage-truce talks, said Monday that reaching a comprehensive deal to free the captives and end the war could take months.
"A full deal is reachable, but it’s going to take months," he told i24News in an interview — though he said a full deal might be hastened if a partial deal is reached first.
Bahbah also told the outlet that Israel and Hamas were within reach of a partial deal weeks ago, before Jerusalem ordered the negotiating team back to Israel from Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... and the US and Israel rejected Hamas’s offer.
He made the same assertion in a separate interview with Channel 13 news, saying: "There was an opportunity to come to a [partial] deal, and honestly, I don’t know why we did not pursue that, because if we did, we would have had a [partial] deal about two and a half, three weeks ago."
But, he said, "I’m receiving signals that there is interest in renewing negotiations."
ISRAEL MAY PAUSE GAZA CITY OP IF SERIOUS TALKS RESUME
The Haaretz daily reported Monday night that Israel and Hamas have both signaled willingness to negotiate a comprehensive deal, but that Jerusalem estimates the odds of talks bearing fruit are low.
Paleostinian sources privy to the details were cited by the newspaper as saying progress on the talks depends on Israel’s willingness to cancel its plan to take over Gaza City.
Other sources involved in discussions told Haaretz that the cabinet’s approval of the Gaza City plan was "real and serious" — but that, if it becomes clear Hamas is willing to make significant concessions in negotiations, the plan’s implementation could be delayed or canceled altogether.
Haaretz also cited sources within Hamas as saying that the terror group has agreed to discuss demilitarizing Gaza and sending some of its leadership into exile, despite publicly refusing to discuss either possibility.
The Qatari newspaper Al Araby al Jadeed reported Monday morning that a Hamas delegation, led by politburo chief Khalil al-Hayya, would arrive in Cairo on Monday evening as part of efforts to revive the negotiation channel between Hamas and Egypt.
According to the Qatari report, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund... helped renew the connection.
Later Monday, Sky News in Arabic reported that Hamas negotiators were being presented with a new Gaza ceasefire proposal put together by Egypt and Qatar, with Ottoman Turkish help, which would include an end to the war and the release of all hostages.
According to the report, the deal would see all hostages living and dead released in exchange for Paleostinian prisoners, while Israel would pull its military back "under Arab-American supervision" until an agreement is reached regarding disarming Hamas and its exit from governing Gaza.
During the interim phase, Turkey and other mediators would guarantee that Hamas freeze any military activities, allowing for talks on a permanent end to the war.
According to the report, if Hamas accepts the terms of the proposal, it will be sent to the American mediators to be passed to Israel.
Sky News said the proposal is designed to "strip any excuse for occupying Gaza from [Prime Minister] Benjamin Netanyahu."
IDF CHIEF: ALL PLANS GIVEN TO CABINET AIMED AT DEFEATING HAMAS
Speaking during an assessment Monday morning, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said the options the military presented to the security cabinet last week all had the goal of defeating Hamas — pushing back against critics who have accused the army brass of seeking a hostage deal at the expense of the other war goals.
"In accordance with the cabinet’s decision, we are at the outset of a new stage in the fighting in Gaza. We will develop the best method according to the defined objectives, while maintaining professionalism and the principles that guide our actions," Zamir said, according to remarks provided by the IDF, as the army is gearing up to capture Gaza City.
"We will do this according to the readiness of the forces and the weaponry, with the hostages in mind — we will do everything to preserve their lives and bring them home," he said of the new plan.
Zamir said the alternative plans that were presented to the cabinet were "all intended to bring about the defeat of Hamas, with full understanding of the implications in all aspects."
It has been reported that Zamir opposed the capture of Gaza City and instead suggested to the cabinet that the IDF take a more gradual approach and encircle the city instead. Critics of alternate plans presented by the army have said they were more focused on freeing the hostages than on defeating the terror group.
"The IDF knows how to capture Gaza City, just as it knew how to capture Khan Younis and Rafah. Our forces maneuvered there in the past; we will know how to do so again," Zamir said.
Terror groups in the Gaza Strip are holding 50 hostages, of whom 20 are believed to still be alive. There are grave concerns for the well-being of two of the hostages, Israeli officials have said, and the remaining 28 have been confirmed dead by the IDF.
All of the hostages are people kidnapped from Israel during Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack, except for one soldier who was killed in 2014 and whose body has been held in Gaza since.
Who is paying for it this time? The US State Department is in Republican hands, the usual government spigots are closed, and the Democratic Party doesn’t have nearly the funds to throw around as they are accustomed to. Private Progressive donors, perhaps, or or possibly a rich Arab…
[IsraelTimes] The four Arab parties — Hadash, Ra;am, Ta’al and Balad — are set to meet tomorrow to discuss reviving the Joint List bloc ahead of the next elections, with the question of leadership shaping the talks, according to a source close to the joint Jewish-Arab party Hadash.
The party is insisting that former Hadash MK Yusef Jabarin, who is expected to win Hadash’s October primaries, lead the list.
Jabarin is well-known within the Arab community as an active political figure and is seen as a fresh, "statesmanlike" alternative to outgoing Hadash leader Ayman Odeh, who was recently almost expelled from the Knesset, although he is less well-known than Odeh among Jewish voters.
Meanwhile,
...back at the comedy club, Boogie sadly admitted that he was a better peeping Tom than he was a comedian... the source says that Islamist Ra’am party’s Mansour Abbas and Ta’al’s Ahmad Tibi are willing to compromise on the leadership of the list to keep the alliance intact, though leaders want the Joint List to remain merely a technical alliance to allow them the option to split after the elections and join a governing coalition separately.
As a result, Abbas, who may also step down from the leadership of the party, is reportedly insisting on at least five seats on the combined list in order to preserve Ra’am’s political influence and coalition potential.
The source says that the meeting follows Balad’s recent agreement to rejoin the Joint List, albeit with "ideological" conditions. The secular-nationalist party is demanding that the list define clear red lines on the war, the current government and any future coalition.
However,
death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate... Balad’s position is largely symbolic, the source says, since, having failed to enter the Knesset in the last election, the party lacks leverage and knows it cannot run independently due to legal disqualification and funding shortages. Realistically, Balad is seeking two seats within the list.

[REGNUM] The Israeli government recently formally agreed on a plan to expand the operation in the Gaza Strip. Tel Aviv is aiming not only to achieve its previously set goals, but also to take full control of the enclave – no matter what it takes.
Discontent with the right's decision to take control of the enclave provoked new mass protests in Israel. Which, however, quickly became a screen for the mobilization of a wider group of protest forces. Moreover, each of them solves its own problem in isolation from the others.
OUTLINES OF A NEW PLAN
The government led by Benjamin Netanyahu has promised that the new offensive in Gaza will be “swift and short.” The army has been tasked with eliminating the remaining Hamas cells and taking control of Gaza City, one of the key strongholds in the enclave.
In addition, it was decided to cover all large refugee camps in the central part of the enclave and conduct filtration measures there to prevent the escape of key commanders of the movement under the guise of civilians.
Official Tel Aviv promises that after the completion of the operation, a line will finally be drawn under the “Black October days” (as the Israelis themselves call the conflict in Gaza).
However, the situation on the ground looks much less favorable than on paper: the ambitious plan requires the mobilization of a significant part of forces. This fact provides good ground for speculation.
As soon as the outlines of the new plan were announced, rumors began to spread around the country that the authorities were planning to draft up to 430,000 reservists—every 24th Israeli.
For a small Middle Eastern state, this is a huge figure – approximately the same number of forces Tel Aviv deployed during the Yom Kippur War (1973), when it simultaneously confronted four Arab states with professional armies, artillery and aviation.
Against this backdrop, ordinary people (mainly relatives of the hostages and soldiers involved in the operation) began to ask uncomfortable questions: is Hamas, which (if we believe Netanyahu and his supporters) has long been “balancing on the brink of defeat,” as strong as the Arab armies of the 20th century?
And if this is really so, why can't Tel Aviv end the conflict at least "in a draw", without wasting blood? And why does it put the idea of control over the territory higher than the lives of the hostages? Most of whom are also law-abiding citizens of Israel.
In search of answers, Israel's population of about 120,000 people took to the streets to demonstrate.
The total number of protesters was much smaller than in 2023, when there were protests against judicial reform (about 500 thousand people took part in the rallies over the entire period). However, this is one of the largest demonstrations since the beginning of the operation in Gaza.
Subsequently, Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir tried to calm the public by announcing plans to mobilize a maximum of 200,000 reservists. This is, however, comparable to the peacetime strength of the Israeli ground forces.
Zamir's statements did not reassure the Israelis much, especially because he has been in conflict with the prime minister for several days now.
Netanyahu's once-favored "General Tank," who advocated "fighting until victory," has been labeled a defeatist and removed (albeit unofficially) from key decision-making on the operation. Therefore, he is unlikely to have objective information about the real scale of the draft.
Israelis are waiting for Prime Minister Netanyahu to provide clarity, but he has been evasive so far. And he seems to be barely noticing the public's unrest.
ORTHODOX FEARS
However, it is not only the relatives of the hostages and ordinary soldiers who oppose Netanyahu's plans to completely seize Gaza. There is strong unrest among the ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) for whom conscription is a very sore subject.
Conservative clerics are demanding guarantees that the Haredim who have been drafted into the army will not be sent to fight in Gaza. And what’s more, they will not receive any summonses at all until the end of the conflict. If the authorities do not listen to them, they threaten to paralyze the work of Ben Gurion Airport, the country’s key air hub.
The religious parties representing the interests of the ultra-Orthodox in the Knesset have not yet commented on what is happening. Apparently, in the hope that the government will be able to draw the right conclusions from the situation and will not escalate, for example through demonstrative arrests of influential figures in the Haredi community.
Netanyahu's bloc has no desire to quarrel strongly with religious forces. Especially since, judging by recent public opinion polls, parity has formed between the government and the opposition.
In such circumstances, any drift by Netanyahu's supporters could prove fatal, especially given that the coalition itself has alienated the Arab parties that acted as a counterweight, accusing them of secretly funding Hamas.
PALESTINIANS PREPARE DIPLOMATIC STRIKE
As Israel's campaign in Gaza escalates again, nervousness is growing in the West Bank (WB), home to the internationally recognized Palestinian Authority government.
Local elites fear that after the resistance in Gaza is broken, the West Bank will become the priority direction of expansion. Especially since the “external restrictions” on Tel Aviv’s advance in the Jordan Valley were previously lifted during Netanyahu’s visit to the United States, and the intention to “attack the West” was symbolically enshrined in the corresponding Knesset call.
In response, the Palestinian leadership in Ramallah is considering the possibility of transforming the autonomy into a state and unilaterally declaring it at the UN General Assembly in New York in September 2025. The calculation, apparently, is to receive support and protection from European countries.
The topic is being actively promoted by Palestinian bloggers close to the government of Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, which indirectly confirms the veracity of what was said.
On the other hand, such a decision, intended to unite the Palestinians in difficult times and demonstrate Israel's own resolve, could have the opposite effect.
Apart from the fact that a declaration of independence is guaranteed to provoke friction between factions seeking to get into the “interim government,” it will encourage Israeli “hawks” to step up the pace of expansion in the West Bank before the “window of opportunity” closes.
At the same time, Ramallah’s significant public steps have no effect on Tel Aviv’s plans to advance in Gaza.
The Autistic Swedish Princess gets to mug for the cameras again.
[Regnum] Dozens of ships with humanitarian aid will try to break the blockade of the Gaza Strip on August 31. This was stated by Swedish activist Greta Thunberg.
Thunberg will lead this campaign.
"On August 31, we will launch the largest-ever attempt to break the illegal Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip with dozens of ships that will depart from Spain," she said on social media.
The first attempt to break the Gaza blockade was made by Thunberg in June. On June 9, an alarm was raised on a ship heading to the Gaza Strip with 12 pro-Palestinian activists, including Thunberg. After that, the Israeli army boarded the ship and contact with it was lost.
According to Al Jazeera, the Madleen was intercepted by the Israeli army in neutral waters. After that, all crew members and passengers were ordered to turn off their mobile phones.
#1
Since Greta Thunberg is a known restarted person with an IQ of maybe 70-80 and if she really is leading the group, it makes me wonder what the intelligent level of her followers are.
#2
It is the Left who looks down on people being average or even below average intelligence. Bad form copying them. Thunberg isn't retarded, she'd be living in a group home instead of traveling the world shaking her finger at us.
That being said, I hope the IDF sinks the ship and there are no survivors.
#3
Not mentally retarded but autistic. She absolutely does not have the social skills to lead any group. She is nothing more than a figurehead — or was, when she was the impassioned kid. She is fully adult now, and a very unpleasant adult at that.
SIDE NOTE
Since the Gaza problem is already starting to wind-down.
Having already received 27,000+ truck loads of supplies delivered, with it seems, a very large ##% stolen by Hamas or Gazan's.
So her Puppet Masters see this, and plan to use this long ago debunked, Liberal Mentally Handicapped status symbol, to claim she and her followers saved GAZA?
