[Fox] To 'praise what Hamas did is disgraceful,' the Ivy League alumni said.
Columbia University graduate, billionaire investor and Omega Advisors CEO Leon Cooperman had harsh words for Ivy League students who are sharing anti-Israel sentiment on campus.
"These kids at the colleges have sh-- for brains," Cooperman told "The Claman Countdown" host Liz Claman on Wednesday. "We have one reliable ally in the Middle East. That's Israel. We only have one democracy in the Middle East. That's Israel. And we have one economy tolerant of different people, gays, lesbians, etc. That's Israel. So they have no idea what these young kids are doing."
"Now, the real shame is, I've given to Columbia probably about $50 million over many years," he continued. "And I'm going to suspend my giving. I'll give my giving to other organizations."
Cooperman doubled down on his stance to no longer donate to the Ivy League school, expressing his disgust over staff members who refuse to condemn terrorist acts.
"I told [Columbia] that they should fire this professor that made the comments he made. I mean, war is hell. This war is not good for anybody," Cooperman said. "But to praise what Hamas did is disgraceful. Disgusting."
Columbia’s president, Minouche Shafik, previously released a statement for both sides of the conflict, which noted that, "Unfortunately, some are using this moment to spread antisemitism, Islamophobia, bigotry against Palestinians and Israelis, and various other forms of hate," she wrote. "Especially at a time of pain and anger, we must avoid language that vilifies, threatens, or stereotypes entire groups of people."
"It is antithetical to Columbia’s values and can lead to acts of harassment or violence," Shafik added. "When this type of speech is unlawful or violates University rules, it will not be tolerated."
The billionaire investor advised President Shafik to take a page from business leaders like Marc Rowan and Bill Ackman on the Israel-Hamas war.
"Listen to what Marc Rowan has to say and what he's written. He's on the right track. He's done a very good job for Apollo in running the business. He's been very outspoken about his views, and he's a very generous guy and a good person. And so look at some of these other academic institutions, how they've responded," Cooperman explained. "I think people like Bill Ackman and Marc Rowan and others, Ronald Lauder, are on the right track. You shouldn't support organizations that are detrimental or in opposition to your views."
Unsure whether the anti-Israel feelings expressed by staff and students on campus will decrease value of a Columbia degree, Cooperman did argue that the value of a master’s level education has certainly decreased since he graduated.
"I've been on the Board of Columbia for many, many years. The kids today are giving up jobs making $140,000 a year to go to school for $100,000 a year and spend $2,000 plus room and board, and they're going into a job... needy," the CEO said.
"Columbia made a big difference in my life, which is why I've been generous with them," Cooperman continued. "But the recent developments regarding the Middle East, they should stay out of it."
[SDUT] The act was in protest of the ongoing project to replace the primary fence in the area near Friendship Park with sections up to 30 feet high
Four protesters chained themselves to different sections of the border fence Wednesday on the Mexican side of Friendship Park.
The action was in opposition to the ongoing construction to replace the primary fence in the area with new 30-foot tall walls.
Construction work for the primary fence began in August near the beach and has now advanced to Friendship Park, the area where families who couldn’t cross the border used to gather to speak with loved ones through the fence. The area also houses the U.S. side of the binational garden.
The demonstration began Wednesday morning when local advocate Dan Watman placed a banner with the message, "Yes to friendship! No to walls!" on the Mexican side of the binational garden.
One by one, in lapses of about 20 minutes, three protesters, including Watman, began chaining themselves with bicycle locks to different sections of the primary fence from the Mexican side while construction work was underway on the other side. A fourth protester joined about an hour later.
"I hope everything stops," said Watman, who is known for his work as an activist with the Friends of Friendship Park group, although, he said, for this demonstration he came as a member of the broader cross-border community.
The protest momentarily halted construction work, although it eventually resumed.
At one point, Watman, while chained to the fence, extended his hand through it to try to stop the work going on immediately behind him on the U.S. side.
"I have no intention of hurting anyone, I just don’t want you to do construction," Watman told workers.
From the Mexican side, Tijuana police officers and National Guard members watched but did not intervene in the demonstration, which lasted about six hours. There were no arrests.
"I oppose the construction of the new wall," said Bob Case, one of the protesters who chained himself to the fence. "I think these walls are counterproductive, that it doesn’t make sense for two countries that are not at war with each other to have a big wall between them."

[KavkazUzel] The Astrakhan regional court refused to overturn the decision to transfer Abdul-Malik Albagachiev, a native of Ingushetia, to prison. The court did not take into account Albagachiev’s health condition; the decision will be appealed to the cassation court, the lawyer said.
As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, on the recommendation of the leadership of Astrakhan colony No. 10, the Sovetsky District Court of Astrakhan on August 7 changed the regime of Ingushetia native Abdul-Malik Albagachiev to prison. The forensic medical examination, the conclusion of which was presented during the appeal against this decision, noted that Albagachiev’s condition is deteriorating, since he is not receiving the necessary treatment, which cannot be provided in the colony. The defense asked to add the conclusion to the case, but the court refused the request; the lawyer called the judge’s decision unmotivated.
On July 30, Albagachiev had an epileptic attack, however, despite a request for help, the doctor came only two hours later. All this time the prisoner lay on the floor in the cell. Relatives stated that Albagachiev’s increasingly frequent epileptic attacks were caused by the consequences of torture to which he was subjected by security forces. The lawyer noted that the lack of proper medical care gives grounds to demand compensation for both physical and moral harm.
The Astrakhan Regional Court upheld the decision to transfer Abdul-Malik Albagachiev to prison, the Public Verdict Foundation reported today in its Telegram channel.
The decision will be appealed to the cassation court, said lawyer Irina Biryukova. “I consider this decision to be illegal. The court did not take into account Albagachiev’s state of health and did not accept an independent medical examination as a defense argument. With such a decision, Albagachiev’s life and health could be endangered, since during the period of the prison camp he will be deprived of medical care.
Doctors do not accompany the prison camp, "The convoy is given medicines, and they decide for themselves when to give them to the sick prisoner. Considering that Albagachiev's epileptic attacks have become more frequent, the absence of doctors at a stage that can be long can lead to death," her words are quoted in the publication.
The decision on the appeal against tightening the regime for Albagachiev was made today, as follows from the case file on the website of the Astrakhan Regional Court.
The "Caucasian Knot" also wrote that on March 19, human rights activists announced the tortured conditions of Albagachiev's detention in the colony. In May, the court fined two colonies in the Astrakhan region, where Albagachiev was serving his sentence, for failure to provide materials.
On August 23, lawyer Irina Biryukova received a letter from Albagachiev in which a prisoner with epilepsy said that on the evening of August 21 he was not provided with medical care for more than an hour, and another prisoner was beaten in front of his eyes. Biryukova wrote statements about the crime to the ICR department for the Astrakhan region, the regional prosecutor's office, the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia and the local ombudsman for human rights. The prosecutor's office and the ombudsman's office announced the start of checks on the complaint. The ICR department refused to check, forwarding the lawyer’s application to the prosecutor’s office.
In August 2018, Abdul-Malik Albagachiev was sentenced to nine years in prison. According to investigators, from January to March 2015, he fought in Syria against government troops, and after returning to Russia, he kept a homemade grenade with him. Albagachiev reported torture during the preliminary investigation.

[KavkazUzel] The European Court of Human Rights recognized the violation of the rights of Islam Yandiyev, sentenced to life in prison in the case of the terrorist attack at Domodedovo Airport,
...suicide bomb by Al Qaeda-linked Caucasus Emirate on 24 January 2011. The bombing killed 37 people and injured 173...
and awarded him compensation of 1,000 euros, although Russia refused to comply with the decisions of the Strasbourg court.
As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, the natives of Ingushetia, brothers Islam and Ilez Yandiev, Akhmed Evloev and Bashir Khamkhoev, were involved in the case of the terrorist attack in Domodedovo. They denied their guilt. The court sentenced them to life terms, but the appeal court upheld the sentence.
The European Court of Human Rights today considered the complaint of Islam Yandiyev, who is serving a life sentence in the case of the terrorist attack at Domodedovo Airport, the Kavkaz.Realii publication reported today*.
As follows from the decision in the case "Yandiev v. Russia", published today on the court's website, he complained about overcrowding - about a person on a train, which for more than a month, from December 17, 2017 to January 26, 2018, transported him to the place of serving his sentence, accounted for less than three square meters of space, as well as the absence or poor quality of bedding, lack of privacy for the toilet, lack of fresh air, cold, insufficient lighting, limited access to warm water.
The court found that Article 3 of the Human Rights Convention on the prohibition of inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment had been violated in relation to Yandiev and awarded him compensation of one thousand euros.
Russia refused to implement the decisions of the ECHR. On June 11, 2022, Vladimir Putin signed a bill on non-execution of ECHR decisions made after March 15 of the same year. On September 16, Russia ceased to be a party to the European Convention on Human Rights. The ECHR stated that it retains competence to consider applications directed against Russia, provided that they were filed before this date.
In April, it became known that the Supreme Court of Russia refused to satisfy the claim of Islam Yandiev, who is serving a prison sentence in the Khabarovsk Territory, with a request to give him the Tetris game. In 2020, a package containing Tetris was sent to his colony. Correctional officers did not give Yandiev the game because it is an “electronic storage medium,” that is, an item that prisoners are prohibited from using.
Yandiev objected that this was a board game that did not provide access to the Internet. He filed an administrative claim in court. In 2021, the Nazran District Court of Ingushetia refused to satisfy his request. The convict filed an appeal - the appellate court considered the actions of the FSIN employees to be illegal and ordered the game to be returned to Yandiev, but the Supreme Court banned him from using the game, RBC reported on April 27.
The "Caucasian Knot" also wrote that in the appeal against life imprisonment, Islam Yandiyev's defense, without challenging the court's arguments about his guilt, stated that the punishment of life imprisonment is excessively harsh and the sentence is unfair. The defense motivated its position by the fact that “Yandiev actively participated in solving the crime, but the court did not take this circumstance into account.” Yandiev also stated in court that he testified against his brother Ilez in connection with the pressure put on him . “They constantly threatened me that they would kill my father, my mother, there were threats against the family that they would blow up the house if I didn’t give the necessary testimony,” Islam Yandiev said then.

[REGNUM] The three-week saga in Washington has come to an end. After numerous attempts, lawmakers in Congress finally managed to approve a new speaker. The battles around the third post in the US government hierarchy have dragged on for a long time - and now they threaten America with serious complications on the external contour and a new round of the budget crisis.
There has never been such a prolonged paralysis of the work of Congress in modern US history. In 2015, the Republicans also staged a fierce fight for the post of speaker, but then they quickly rallied around a compromise figure in the person of Paul Ryan. Now, coming to a compromise has turned out to be much more difficult - against the backdrop of a strong split among Republicans and general antipathy towards Joe Biden’s policies.
The first speaker candidate was Steve Scalise , second in the hierarchy of Republicans in Congress. But he quickly dropped out of the race, realizing that he would not get the required number of votes in his support. He was replaced by Jim Jordan , a representative of the right wing of the Republicans. He tried unsuccessfully to be elected speaker three times. It didn’t help that Jordan’s supporters began to simply threaten those who did not want to vote for him - for this they even received a slap on the wrist from the Capitol police. Jordan also had to withdraw from the speaker election.
Then it was the turn of Tom Emmer, a representative of the establishment and third in the party hierarchy. But he also could not succeed. As a result, the choice fell on Congressman Mike Johnson from Louisiana, little known to the general public.
Johnson is not the most media personality in Congress. However, he is vice-chairman of the Republican Caucus in the lower house, which unites all legislators from the “elephant party”. In addition, Johnson holds important positions on the Judiciary Committee, through which all bills pass, and on the Armed Services Committee.
The newly appointed speaker received 220 votes in his support - a little more than half. He was supported by all right-wing Republicans who consider Johnson their man. After all, he consistently supported their agenda. In 2020, Johnson helped Donald Trump challenge the election results and prevent the recognition of Biden's victory, although unsuccessfully.
In recent years, Johnson has proposed bills to restrict abortion and teach gender theories in American schools. He demanded that federal grants be cut off for those educational institutions where this is practiced.
The fight against abortion and transgender people is becoming a key element of the Republican agenda in the upcoming elections.
In the context of the conflict in Ukraine, Johnson at the very beginning voted for a bill to provide Lend-Lease to Kyiv, although the White House never used this means. But since May 2022, when the level of support for Ukraine among Americans began to fall, Johnson began to consistently vote against any new tranches to Kyiv.
He demanded to begin by solving pressing issues for the United States. Johnson includes the migration crisis on the southern border of the United States, which is broken through by hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants every month. And also the drug addiction crisis - after all, about 100 thousand Americans die from opiate overdoses every year. And the crime crisis that has engulfed major US cities.
After being elected speaker, Johnson's first act was to pass a symbolic resolution in support of Israel. Almost all legislators voted for it - with the exception of the liberal faction of the Democratic Party, which accuses Israel of genocide of Palestinians and war crimes.
But now Johnson will immediately have to tackle the difficult budget impasse into which Washington has driven itself.
On the one hand, he is under pressure from right-wing Republicans and isolationists who demand a reduction in government spending, especially on wars.
After all, the US government budget deficit has now exceeded $2 trillion - and in the face of increased rates, servicing the national debt is becoming increasingly difficult. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note has already risen above 5% for the first time since 2007. And the cost of mortgages for Americans is becoming the most expensive in almost 30 years, since the mid-90s.
On the other hand, Johnson also needs to pay attention to the opinions of hawks in both parties, as well as the White House.
They are demanding quick agreement on a massive $105 billion military budget that allocates $60 billion to Ukraine and divides the rest between Israel, Taiwan and securing the US southern border.
Hawks will probably try to block approval of the budget if money is not allocated to Ukraine and Israel. But there is no unity among them either - for example, many Republicans demand that Israel be made a priority recipient. They are confident that only he, unlike Ukraine, has a real chance of winning.
The newly elected speaker has only three weeks to resolve budget conflicts. By mid-November, the current short-term budget, adopted in September, will run dry. If by then it is not possible to agree on a new one, then America will again face a shutdown, that is, a suspension of government work. All civil servants, officials and military personnel will lose their salaries - and this is against the backdrop of at least two proxy wars being waged by the United States. Lose their salaries? Bullshit. They always get paid retroactively, even though they weren't working (Civil Servants)
Speaker Johnson understands very well that he will not be forgiven for compromising with Biden and allocating large tranches to Ukraine. The right wing of the Republicans will immediately again organize the procedure for recalling the speaker and throw Johnson out of office, plunging Congress into a new situation of chaos.
Therefore, he will have to maneuver, allocating more money to Israel, less to Ukraine, while convincing the hawks that this is the only way they can get at least some tranches for waging wars. Most likely, a certain military budget will still be accepted for this matter. But Ukraine may not get 60 billion, but a significantly smaller amount.
For Kyiv, such a development of events will be extremely negative. After all, at the same time, Brussels is preparing to cut funding for Ukraine for next year. Military tranches are greatly delayed, and US missiles and shells in short supply are hastily redirected from Europe to Israel.
Kyiv will clearly not be able to conduct large-scale operations in these difficult conditions. Therefore, it is not surprising that Western capitals began to privately consider the possibility of negotiations with Russia and at least a temporary freeze of the conflict - for the period of the US election race in 2024.
The key task for Johnson is to try to somehow unite the Republicans ahead of very difficult elections for them in order to maintain a majority in Congress. An anti-Ukrainian consensus is already forming within the party, which is also expressed by Donald Trump, the clear favorite in the primaries. In polls, more than half of Americans oppose the allocation of new tranches to Kyiv.
On this platform - coupled with criticism of Biden for all the failures and chaos in the world - Trump hopes to win the next election. But to seriously change the status quo in Washington, he will need loyal support from the Republican Congress. This is what Johnson, whom Trump helped become speaker, will do.
The speaker election is over, but long budget battles lie ahead, followed by an equally fateful election season.
In the meantime, chaos and division in Washington are not going away - and they are further complicating the attempts of Biden’s apparatchiks to influence world processes in Eastern Europe, the Middle East or the Indo-Pacific region, which are beginning to go completely differently from the American scenario.
[Federalist] The Coalition for Jewish Values is out with a new ad Thursday calling on professional sports leagues to abandon support for Black Lives Matter (BLM).
The ad begins by featuring BLM Co-Founder Patrisse Cullors calling on activists to "step up boldly and courageously to end the imperialist project that’s called Israel."
"When BLM was founded, they didn’t hide their antisemitism," the narrator says. "Despite this, professional sports teams ignored their bigotry and elevated BLM, providing millions of dollars in publicity, including teams in cities with vibrant Jewish communities."
The ad shows sports logos for several sports teams, such as the Chicago Bulls, the Dallas Mavericks, the New York Yankees, the Miami Heat, and the New England Patriots.
"Now their grassroots organization in Chicago chapter praised the massacre of Jews in Israel," the narrator continued.
The ad featured an image published by BLM Chicago celebrating the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre with a poster of a paratrooper captioned, "I stand with Palestine." During the surprise attack on Israel, Hamas paratroopers dropped into a music festival and killed about 260 people.

[GEO.TV] In a twist of events, a delegation comprising Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf ...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations.... 's (PTI) top leadership met Jamaat Ulema-e-Islam ...the political wing of the Pak Taliban... (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman Deobandi holy man, known as Mullah Diesel during the war against the Soviets, his sympathies for the Taliban have never been tempered by honesty. Fazl seldom misses a meal and is now so large he has his own gravitational pull
on Thursday, with the approval of party chairman Imran Khan ...aka The Great Khan, who ain't the sharpest bulb on the national tree... For years now, Imran has targeted Fazl — and vice versa — and both are considered arch-foes. Fazl's party was also part of the coalition government and helped remove Imran from power last year.
Talking to journalists after the meeting in Islamabad, PTI's big shot Asad Qaiser said: "Everyone, including the PTI chairman, had approved of this meeting."
"Today, we came to offer our condolences [over the demise of Fazl's mother-in-law], this is our culture. We did not discuss politics in the meeting," said Qaiser who is a staunch supporter of Imran and a former speaker of the National Assembly.
But sources told Geo News that the country's political situation and other important matters also came under discussion during the meeting, which went on for an hour.
From PTI's side, Qaiser, Ali Muhammad Khan, Barrister Muhammad Ali Khan Saif, and Junair Akbar partook in the meeting.
The development comes days after, according to The News, Fazl had agreed to play a leading role in national reconciliation in a bid to bring political stability to the country.
According to sources privy to the development, Fazl, who also heads the multi-party alliance Pakistain Democratic Movement (PDM), has supported the idea of playing a role in political dialogue among key stakeholders at the suggestion of former senator Muhammad Ali Durrani.
When contacted, Durrani told The News that the PDM chief had agreed to play a leading role in national reconciliation. "Fazl is a national leader who can bring about national reconciliation," he said.
The politicking comes as Pakistain is gradually moving towards elections, expected to take place in January next year.
PTI chief Imran is currently behind bars and cannot contest the elections, while Pakistain Moslem League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif ...served two three non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf, then by the courts... has come back to the country and aims for a fourth stint as the prime minister — if he can get the court cases cleared.

Why??? is a question regularly asked and answered: Because Israel does beta testing on American weapons and equipment under battlefield conditions, then creates improvements that America then has the option to buy. Both sides are better off, and the Israelis do the work cheaper and faster than American logistics systems can accomplish.
Or you could stick with F-35s that asphyxiated the pilots without any apparent reason. Your choice.

I wonder if US states still have the authority to offer Letters of Marque? Still, having a state governor get involved in any military foreign aid seems ...problematic.
I call on the free people of the world to exert all pressure to stop the aggression against Gaza.
This battle will change the course of history and will move towards achieving the highest goals of this people who have suffered from historical injustice.

IRAN leaders need to get some new threatening sound bites.
Wondering out loud .
Given the weight of a Israeli Merkava Tank is about 64.5 tons. I guess it would cause a number of PLO, ISIS, HAMAS tunnels to cave in.
But wouldn't the Terrorists hiding in the tunnels be buried UNDER the 64.5+/- tons of Tank also? 🤔

[Regnum] About 900 more American troops are being deployed to the Middle East, Pentagon spokesman Brigadier General Patrick Ryder said on October 26 at a regular briefing for journalists.
“I am ready to confirm that approximately 900 military personnel have been deployed or are in the process of being deployed to the area of responsibility of the US Central Command,” he said.
The representative of the US Department of Defense added that the military are mainly operators of air defense and missile defense systems, including THAAD missile defense systems and Patriot complexes. These troops are being transferred from military bases located in the continental United States, Ryder noted.
According to the Pentagon press secretary, the military will not go to Israel. However, he did not specify where exactly they would be located. "Somewhere...else"
As Regnum reported , according to The Wall Street Journal, the United States intends to deploy almost 12 air defense systems in the Middle East in anticipation of Israel's ground operation in the Gaza Strip. It is known that the Pentagon will send THAAD to Saudi Arabia, and Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems to Kuwait, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE.
On October 17, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered 2,000 military personnel to be put on high alert for the possibility of sending them to the Middle East amid the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
[An Nahar] International contacts at the highest levels were held with Lebanese authorities after caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati said that 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... is still committed to U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701, a media report said.
"Lebanese authorities were urged to honor their pledges regarding the resolution," the Nidaa al-Watan newspaper reported on Thursday.
"As long as Lebanon has declared its commitment to this resolution, the army and UNIFIL forces must be tasked with controlling the southern border and Hezbollah and the Paleostinians must withdraw," the daily quoted diplomatic sources as saying.
"An international message in this regard has been relayed to Speaker Nabih Knobby Berri ...Speaker of the Lebanese parliament, head of the Amal Shiite party aligned with Hezbollah, a not very subtle sock puppet of the Medes and Persians... and (caretaker) Prime Minister (Najib) Mikati," the sources said.
"There is no other plan or solution other than this step, or else the so-called new rules of engagement, which Hezbollah is practicing, mean that there will be a possibility to descend into war in light of the number of victims on the two sides of the border," the sources added.
The sources explained that in order to "eliminate the Hezbollah excuse that is linking the southern front to Israeli ground incursion into 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... , and also to eliminate Israel’s excuse to wage a war, Lebanon will receive an international-American guarantee that there will be no war should it carry out the step related to the army and the U.N. forces."
"The international community will then shoulder the responsibility of keeping Lebanon safe from war," the sources added.

[ENGLISH.ALMANAR.LB] Member of Hezbollah’s Central Council Sheikh Nabil Qawouq stressed that the operations of the Islamic resistance in the Lebanese southern territories have proven that 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 not left alone."
During a memorial ceremony of Hezbollah martyr Bilal Nimr Ramiti in the southern Lebanese village of al-Majadil, that "the honorable resistance fighters in 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... , Iraq, Syria, and 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.

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... have not and will never abandon supporting Gaza."
"They have been defending it with their blood and weaponry, in order to foil the Zionist enemy’s desperate plans to control Gaza", he added.
D Sheikh Qawouq noted that "Hezbollah’s noble fighters are the lions of the battlefield and victory makers."
"The West saw that, despite the military naval buildup, we have not abandoned our responsibility to support Gaza. We won’t alter our stance."
Qawouk reaffirmed that "if all the world’s fighting fleets are deployed (in the region), we won’t abandon our support for Gaza, nor will we quit defending our people in Lebanon."
Finally, he addressed some Arab countries which have been launching normalization deals with the Zionist entity: "What are you waiting for to expel Israeli ambassadors from Arab countries?
