[SUDANTRIBUNE] Sudan ...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans... ese Foreign Minister Ali al-Sadiq has revealed that Chad has requested an apology from Sudan over accusations that it supported the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in their ongoing conflict with the Sudanese army. But he maintained that his government would not apologize.
On November 27, Lt Gen Yasir al-Atta, Assistant Commander-in-Chief of the Sudanese Army and member of the Sovereign Council, accused Chad of allowing Emirati weapons and ammunition to be transported through its airports to support the RSF.
In an interview with Sudan TV on Monday, al-Sadiq stated that Chad summoned Sudan’s ambassador and demanded an apology for al-Atta’s statements within three days. The Chadian government threatened to take unspecified "measures" if Sudan did not comply.
However, facts are stubborn; statistics are more pliable... al-Sadiq firmly rejected this demand, stating that Sudan’s accusations were based on evidence, including satellite images and aerial photography, that Chad had provided logistical support to the RSF through the UAE.

I doubt this escalates the way we want, in the way that it needs for closure. IDK if the Israelis have more than words. I imagine the US has redlines and killing Houthi would be one. I can hear the US waging its finger, killing Houthi might ignite "a regional war" with Iran.
[IsraelTimes] Hostages forum signed deal to have posters shown for two weeks, but company pulls out early over threats directed at employees — some by local businesses located near images.
A British advertising company pulled out of a deal to project images of hostages held by Hamas ...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... 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... across London after receiving thousands of threats, according to reports Tuesday.
The move was assailed by Israel’s diplomats and its foreign minister as "a disgrace and a surrender to terrorism."
The Hostages and Missing Families Forum in London raised funds and signed a contract with the London Lites company to show images on giant screens at multiple locations across London for two weeks, according to reports by Channel 12 and the UK’s Jewish News.
Several firms refused to take on the campaign before a deal was made with the company, according to Channel 12.
But in an unusual move, London Lites withdrew from the agreement and took down the images after six days due to threats it received, which included explicit threats directed at employees.
Threats were also made by business owners whose shops were located next to the displayed images, the reports said.
Law enforcement is investigating the threats, Channel 12 reported.
"We advocate for freedom of expression," the company told the network. "We did not want to get to this situation, but the complaints grew and became aggressive. We were very worried about the threats our employees received."
Foreign Minister Eli Cohen called the move "a disgrace and a surrender to supporters of terrorism," adding that "The attempt to silence our call to free the hostages will not succeed."
Israel’s embassy in London also called out the company, which it said "caved to threats of an extreme minority in the UK, which forcefully tries to limit freedom of expression."
"The embassy is considering further steps against the company," it stated, vowing to continue to make efforts to spread awareness of those held in Gaza.
"There should be nothing controversial about raising awareness for innocent civilians being held hostage by a terror organization. This is a humanitarian cause. This breach of contract plays into the hands of faceless myrmidons by actively ignoring the war crimes of Hamas and also by succumbing to intimidation and threats in London," the embassy added.
Since hostages were kidnapped, posters of captives have been targeted by pro-Paleostinian activists around the world, with many videos circulating of people tearing them down in public places, often calling them Israeli "propaganda."

[KavkazUzel] The first group of 55 refugees arrived from Palestine to Ingushetia. They are provided with housing and food, the republican authorities reported today. Give em a couple days. They'll be bitching and moaning about the food, their housing, the neighbors, the noise, the....
As the Caucasian Knot reported, on December 5, the head of Ingushetia, Mahmud-Ali Kalimatov , said that the republic was ready to accept one hundred refugees from Palestine, and that the authorities would take care of their accommodation and employment.
The first group of refugees from Palestine has arrived in Ingushetia, the government of the republic announced today. “They were met by the first deputy prime minister of the region, Magomed Evloev. Those who arrived will be accommodated in the Assa hotel in Nazran,” the government of Ingushetia explained in its Telegram channel.
Living conditions have been created for refugees from Palestine, including three hot meals a day, the report said.
A total of 55 refugees arrived in Ingushetia from Palestine, 34 of them were children, TASS reported today from the press service of the government of Ingushetia.
Let us recall that on November 10, Mahmud-Ali Kalimatov gave instructions to organize a collection of aid for the Palestinians and called on residents to participate in it. On November 29, the authorities reported that the volume of aid collected in the republic amounted to 150 tons . These include food, tents, bedding, portable stoves, generators, medicines, clothing and other items.

The poor, suffering darling.
As the "Caucasian Knot " wrote, on November 2, the court in Grozny, on the third attempt, began to consider the case of Volgograd resident Nikita Zhuravel, accused in the case of burning the Koran. Several times court hearings were postponed due to the failure of the imams of Grozny mosques, who acted as victims in the case, to appear. At a meeting on November 28, the imams of Chechen mosques stated that the act of Volgograd resident Nikita Zhuravel, who burned the Koran, offended the feelings of Muslims and caused them harm.
The persecution of Nikita Zhuravel is politically motivated and aimed at intimidating the public, the human rights project “Support for Political Prisoners. Memorial” said on November 16. More details about the Zhuravel case are stated in the “Caucasian Knot” reference “ The beating of Nikita Zhuravel: why did Kadyrov’s men need to publish the video.”
In the Visaitovsky District Court of Grozny, at the hearing in the case of the burning of the Koran by Nikita Zhuravl, five Chechen imams, recognized as victims, spoke. In their speeches, they said that Zhuravel’s act caused “enormous moral harm to all Muslims.”
The imam of the mosque in the Avtotrest village, Isa Tasuev, called the burning of the Koran an immoral act. “He caused enormous moral harm to me and all Muslims,” the Chechen state agency Chechnya Today quoted him as saying.
The sacred scriptures of any denomination must be protected, and everyone must treat them with respect, noted Apti Barzukaev, the imam of a mosque in the Sheikh-Mansurovsky district of Grozny. “The burning of the Koran offended not only me, it should offend any sane person. I don’t even want to look at this,” he said in court.
The imam of the mosque in the village of Turbina, Khasan Gorshuev , said that when he watched the video, his blood pressure jumped. “This is not just an insult, it’s worse than an insult for me. I felt bad, I stopped watching it. My blood pressure rose,” the Chechnya Today news agency correspondent quotes the victim as saying. "I got a chubby!"
The "Caucasian Knot" wrote that on September 25, the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, published a video in which his son Adam Kadyrov beats Nikita Zhuravel in a pre-trial detention center. After this, Kadyrov's son received a number of awards. So, on October 6 it became known that he had been awarded the title of Hero of Chechnya. Then the head of Tatarstan awarded him the Order of Duslyk, the head of Karachay-Cherkessia - the Order of Merit for the Karachay-Cherkess Republic (the highest state award of the republic), and the Mufti of Karachay-Cherkessia awarded Adam Kadyrov the Order of Merit for the Ummah. On November 7, Adam Kadyrov received the highest award of Kabardino-Balkaria (Order of Merit for the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic), and on November 9 he was awarded the highest order of the Chechen parliament “Daimekhkan Siy”.
On November 5, it became known that Adam Kadyrov had been appointed head of the security department of the head of Chechnya. This appointment does not correlate well with labor legislation for teenagers and only emphasizes the hereditary principle of the formation of power in the republic, lawyers, security officials and human rights activists noted. They suggested that for Adam Kadyrov this is a test of his ability to lead Chechnya after his father.
Also, 16-year-old Adam Kadyrov was entrusted with overseeing the Sheikh Mansur battalion. Chairman of the Chechen Parliament Magomed Daudov expressed confidence that Adam Kadyrov “will do everything necessary to ensure that the battalion’s personnel are provided with everything necessary to carry out their assigned tasks efficiently.” The minor son of the head of Chechnya, Adam Kadyrov, does not have the competence to lead a military unit, but his appointment as curator of the Chechen battalion of the Ministry of Defense is intended to introduce him into the circle of security forces, human rights activists interviewed by the Caucasian Knot considered.
An Imamic Prescription:

[FoxBusinessNews] Recent terror attacks have unfolded in neighboring France and Belgium.
Not for cause then, but on spec.
The Dutch counterterrorism agency on Tuesday lifted the country's threat alert to its second-highest level, saying the possibility of an attack in the country is now "substantial."
The announcement marked the first time the threat level has been so high since the end of 2019 and came a week after the European Union's home affairs commissioner, Ylva Johansson, warned that the continent faces a " huge risk of terrorist attacks " over the Christmas holiday period because of the fallout from the war between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
The Dutch National Coordinator for Counterterrorism and Security also said in its threat assessment that "the violent conflict in Israel and the Palestinian territories, Quran desecrations in various European countries and calls for attacks from terrorist organizations have increased the threat from jihadism."
The report cited recent attacks in nearby European countries and arrests of terror suspects in the Netherlands and neighboring countries as a reason for raising the threat level. It added that "the threat from right-wing extremism and anti-institutional extremism remains unabated."
DUTCH TERRORISM
The agency said that while the raised threat assessment doesn't mandate specific actions to ramp up security, it "enables security partners (such as the police, municipalities and ministries) to take measures to combat the threat."
Attacks have happened recently in neighboring France and Belgium.
Earlier this month, a 23-year-old German-Filipino tourist was fatally stabbed near the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The man accused of the attack is under investigation on charges of murder and attempted murder in connection with a terrorist organization. He had been under surveillance for suspected Islamic radicalization, and had been convicted and served prison time for a planned attack that never took place.
In October, authorities in Brussels shot and killed a Tunisian national hours after they say he shot three Swedish soccer fans, killing two of them, and posted a video online in which he claimed credit for the attack and said the Quran was "a red line for which he is ready to sacrifice himself."
Sweden raised its terror alert to the second-highest level in August after a string of public desecrations of the Quran sparked angry demonstrations across Muslim countries and threats from militant groups.

[Regnum] Justice and Development Party (AKP) MP Hasan Bitmez suffered a heart attack while speaking in the Turkish Parliament. He criticized Israel for its crimes in the Gaza Strip. The Turkish publication Medyascope wrote about this . tv.
Forgive my rudeness, but I am just going to sit quietly in the corner and snicker until I get it out of my system.
Impulsively criticizing Tel Aviv, the deputy at some point fell silent. Suddenly, the politician fell from behind the podium and hit his head on the stairs.
“Saadet Kocaeli Party member Hasan Bitmez felt unwell while on the podium in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey. Voices were heard in the ranks of the AKP: “This is how God’s wrath occurs,” the publication’s journalist reported.
Clearly I’m not the only one snickering. Welcome to my corner, Allah!
Deputies-doctors rushed to help Bitmez, performing heart massage, after which he was hospitalized. Justice Minister Yilmaz Tunç said the parliamentarian was in critical condition.
At the hospital, he was placed in the intensive care unit and connected to a heart-lung machine.
As Regnum reported , on April 8, during an attempt to seize a UOC temple in the Kiev region, one of the participants in the attack suddenly died. The incident occurred in the village of Lipovets in the Kyiv region. It is clarified that the man became ill when he attacked the priest.
Courtesy of Every Day a Wildcat (KSU) via the National Post, we have the video. Every Day titled his submission My karma just ran over your dogma
Drama in the Turkish Parliament today.
The MP Hasan Bismet spoke out strongly against Israel, and shouted about Israeli suffering the "wrath of Allah".

These vaccinated people shouldn't whip themselves up into a frenzy...bad for the ticker.
[IsraelTimes] Prosecutors charge Iraqi-born Mufid Fawaz Alkhader, 28, who said ’Free Paleostine’ when arrested, with conspiracy to make a false statement to purchase a firearm
A new federal charge was filed Monday against a man accused of firing a shotgun into the air outside a synagogue in upstate New York.
Mufid Fawaz Alkhader,
...the pothead jihadi...
28, was arrested Thursday after shots were fired outside Temple Israel of Albany. The Iraqi-born US citizen said "Free Paleostine" when officers arrested him. He later told Sherlocks that he felt affected by events in the Middle East, according to police officials and court filings.
Federal prosecutors initially charged Alkhader with possession of a firearm by a prohibited person — a charge authorities said was related to his admitted use of marijuana.
He was charged Monday with conspiracy to make a false statement during the purchase of a firearm. The new charge stems from the recent purchase of the shotgun authorities said he used in the shooting.
Alkhader did not think he was eligible to buy a firearm because of a previous protective order, so he gave a friend money to buy the shotgun for him. The unidentified friend falsely indicated on a federal form that he was buying the firearm for himself, federal prosecutors said. So charge them both
A call seeking comment from Alkhader’s public defender was not answered Monday evening.
Alkhader is being held without bail. Law enforcement officials have said that additional charges, including hate crimes charges, could follow.
While there were no injuries in the shooting, Gov. Kathy Hochul said at a press briefing Thursday that the synagogue has an onsite nursery school, "with at least two dozen children, preschoolers, who were on the premises." She added that the facility went into lockdown but that all children were released safely to their parents.

...IDF troops discovered a weapons cache in a residential apartment block in Gaza. Hidden among household items, they found anti-tank missiles, AK-47s with ammunition, grenades and bulletproof vests. The apartment, owned by a member of Hamas' elite Nukhba force, served as a frontline command center and also contained computers and operational plans related to the October 7 massacre.

Its fun how easy it is to watch all of these bystanders just pissing away money on "relief" when we all know good and well not a dollar of it will actually go to "relief". What the hell is wrong with these organizations who are so willing to go along with a series of obvious *lies*, also known as "departures from reality"?
[IsraelTimes] An association of musicians in Iceland is calling for the country not to participate in next year’s Eurovision competition unless Israel is barred from competing.
The Association of Composers and Lyricists says it sent a message to Iceland’s public broadcaster saying it should not compete if Israel is not banned, similar to how "Russia was in the last contest."
The organization says it feels "a duty to take a stand against war and the murder of civilians and innocent children."
When Israel hosted the Eurovision in 2019, the Iceland entry, Hatari, infamously flashed a Paleostinian flag during the live show, against the competition rules, garnering the nation a sanction from the hosts.
The European Broadcasting Union, which puts on the show each year, has said that Israel will be participating in the 2024 competition, despite calls for it to be barred. Israeli contestant Noa Kirel came in third at the 2023 show in Liverpool, UK.
The history of the Jews in Iceland starts in 1625. In 2018, around 250 Jews were living in Iceland.[1] They often gather to celebrate the Jewish holidays.[citation needed] The first rabbi to be permanently located in Iceland since 1918 moved to the country in 2018.[2]
[Washington Examiner] Biden, speaking to Democratic donors at a fundraiser in Washington, D.C., said the United States would continue to provide Israel support in its efforts to root out Hamas from Gaza but that he warned Netanyahu about waning public support for Israel's bombing campaigns among voters.
"Bibi's got a tough decision to make," Biden told the group Tuesday. "This is the most conservative government in Israel's history."
The president added that Israel is losing support in the U.S. and other countries as civilian casualties mount in Gaza.
"I think he has to change, and with this government, this government in Israel is making it very difficult for him to move," he continued.
Biden's remarks Tuesday mark his greatest departure from supporting Netanyahu's military campaign as Democratic voters and lawmakers pressure him to end the fighting in Gaza.
Biden and top officials, including National Security Council spokesman John Kirby and White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, have all reiterated calls for a two-state solution after the fighting ends.

Given that Biden & Co. were funding Bibi's opposition party (can you say interfering in another nation's politics), why should BiBi care. Deep State is really showing desperation in retaining power short of an outright coup. Other powers can now call the game as domestic politics put many players into checkmate situations.

Bidet is not in charge of sh*t. The people the deep state has put around him (Blinken, I'm looking at you) are pathetic.

Well, it's nice for once to see US making demands of Israel, instead of the other way around.
Supposedly influence is why we give them such massive financial support. It's what we get "in exchange". Let's see if it works. My bet is on they tell us to go fuck ourselves" but hey, it's worth a try.

Oh, come no. Israel, of all countries, can hardly complain of election interference. AIPAC interferes in our elections constantly. No man can become presiddent who does not kiss AIPAC's ring and receive their approval to be elected. One of the reasons Kennedy was assassinated was his desire for them to exert less control over us.

Well yeah, the whole idea is to make the territory uninhabitable and dump the population on Europe and USA afterwards.

They're going to need houses when they get here, too.

"UN says satellite images show 18% of Gaza infrastructure destroyed ...."
In Plain English.
Showing how deep HAMAS and other terrorist groups are intertwined and housed in the Palestinian controlled and UN Monitored GAZA area.
Which, also demonstrates the UN's FAILURE TO ENFORCE its own negotiated and approved Peace Agreement restrictions. That clearly called for, NOT allowing terrorists groups to use GAZA as a base to attack Israel. Attacks which have happened 100's of times a year since it was signed. Thus violating the Peace agreement.
[IsraelTimes] Egypt sent an aid convoy of 80 trucks today to the reopened Kerem Shalom crossing from Israel into war-torn 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 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 inspection, according to humanitarian sources in Egypt.
Another 100 trucks were sent to the Nitzana border post, which has been processing all international aid from Egypt’s Rafah border crossing before it is allowed into Gaza.
No new direct crossings will be opened, Israel said earlier today, but the Kerem Shalom crossing would be used to check trucks before sending them in through Rafah.
The IDF says reopening Kerem Shalom will allow it to "double" aid reaching Gaza, as Israel faces mounting pressure for a humanitarian ceasefire.
"Today we screened the first batch of aid trucks for possible Hamas ...one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,... weapon-smuggling at Kerem Shalom before they drove to the Rafah crossing," government front man Eylon Levy says.
"The problem is the bottleneck at the crossing with Egypt and the problem is that Israel is currently inspecting aid quicker than UN agencies on the ground are able to deliver it," he adds.

[IsraelTimes] Wall Street Journal showcases similarity of annual training sessions to elements of eventual attacks, says drills progressively became more sophisticated.
For years, Hamas ...the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... and other 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... terror groups published footage from major annual drills that simulated some of the tactics they eventually used during the brutal October 7 onslaught on southern Israel, according to a video analysis published Tuesday.
The exercises by the so-called "Joint Operations Room," composed of various Paleostinian terror groups, progressively became more sophisticated since they were initiated in December 2020 and featured training grounds that better resembled the sites targeted on October 7, The Wall Street Journal found, citing unnamed military analysts.
This year, the annual drill was brought forward to mid-September — just weeks before the mass invasion and massacres that killed some 1,200 people — and featured coordinated tactics that resembled "military infantry," it said.
"Still, Israeli officials seem to have ignored or missed these warnings that mirror the tactics Hamas would use just a few weeks later," WSJ said.
The analysis highlighted various screenshots from videos taken on October 7 and showcased them next to visually similar shots from the footage from the earlier drills that were posted to Telegram.
Among the simulated tactics that were drilled over the years and eventually used in the assault were blowing up the Israel-Gaza border fence from afar, traveling in convoys of white pickup trucks, raiding military bases, throwing grenades into concrete structures and taking soldiers hostage.
However, there's more than one way to stuff a chicken... the simulated tactics analyzed in the video did not include the key tactics that paralyzed the Israeli military and enabled the breaching of the border fence on October 7 — the targeting of the remote-controlled high-tech surveillance and weapons systems monitoring the barrier, combined with the firing of thousands of rockets toward military bases and towns all over the country.
Additionally, the tactics highlighted from the drills didn’t include the most shocking and noteworthy characteristics of October 7 — the systematic and premeditated invasion of towns and cities, followed by the mass murders and kidnapping of civilians in their homes, on roads and at an outdoor music festival. The vast majority of those killed and kidnapped during the onslaught were civilians.
However, there's more than one way to stuff a chicken... previous reports have shown exercises that also featured mock Israeli towns and attacks on civilians.
Many details have previously been unveiled of detailed intelligence the Israel Defense Forces had obtained of Hamas attack plans during the weeks, months and years before the October 7 massacres — and which officials largely ignored, believing it to be empty boasting — as well as of senior military officers having ignored or dismissed alarms sounded by lower-ranking soldiers, of the military diverting its attention away from Gaza, and of last-minute indications of an impending attack not being urgently acted upon.
Watch: Hamas and a coalition of Palestinian militant groups posted videos of their military training to social media for years. The tactics seen in them look nearly identical to those seen in the Oct. 7 attacks on Israel. https://t.co/J3Zx4pMxcWhttps://t.co/J3Zx4pMxcW

The power game has turned. Bibi has figured that Deep State understands its in deep trouble with their puppet. To keep up the Potemkin facade of the old republic and avoiding collapse, it has to retain some sort of legitimacy among the party constituant. That is rapidly fracturing. The far Left still doesn't have the independent resources to solely fund the party or turn out votes.
