Interesting video you posted above and btw for anybody that may want to watch it. It's only 4 minutes long.

The speakers says he doesn't believe the Israeli's are Semitic? He think the Palestinians are the Semitic's?

And new to me was; DNA testing is illegal in Israel...really? After checking it looks like that is pretty much the case.

Another short video on DNA testing in Israel. Only 5 minutes long.

Israel’s DNA wars: Forbidden tests​

Tracing your ancestral DNA is a popular activity throughout the world, companies offering home testing kits promise to uncover your geographic origins for a small fee. A Jewish TikToker took the test and found he had heritage in different parts of Europe, but in his results there was no trace of Levantine origins. A cool new thing to tell his friends about, however, he points out that if he was from Israel this test would be illegal. We delve into why Israel restricts tracing your ancestors DNA.​

Haifa mayor warns city ‘at standstill’ due to heavy Hezbollah attacks​

NOV 12, 2024
"Mayor of Haifa Yona Yahav said on 12 November that Hezbollah’s rocket attacks against the area a day earlier have forced residents to flee in panic and shops to shutter."

“The city of Haifa has received an unprecedented economic blow. Everything has come to a standstill, the streets are empty, and the shops are closed,” Yahav said on Tuesday."

"Following Hezbollah’s attacks on the Krayot settlement cluster near Haifa on Monday, images circulated on social media showing Israelis fleeing the area in droves and large traffic jams on the streets."

"Recent days have seen the Lebanese resistance’s drones reach as far as the Tel Aviv suburbs. Hezbollah targeted the Tel Aviv area with rockets on Tuesday afternoon, causing sirens to blare and forcing settlers into shelters."

"Hezbollah’s head of media relations Mohammad Afif said on Monday that there are weapons that have yet to be revealed."

“We have more,” he warned, adding that the use of new weapons will be “decided by the resistance leadership” under “appropriate management.”

One of the X reports says that 50% of the population has already gone heading for Tel Aviv and that Tel Aviv is also under attack. Videos, X's and further links in article below:

But didn't Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz say only two days before on November 10 that Israel has defeated Hezbollah. Judging from this. they don't look very defeated to me.​

Ex-NHS surgeon Nizam Mamode broke down as he told the international development committee what he witnessed when working as a surgeon in Gaza.
“It doesn’t matter who you are in Gaza. If you’re Palestinian, you’re a target.” – Professor Nizam Mamode.

Today, the International Development Committee heard evidence on the current state of healthcare in Gaza.

The Committee heard evidence from Professor Nizam Mamode, a retired NHS transplant surgeon who recently returned from a period working at Nasser hospital in Gaza. Also giving evidence were representatives from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine (UNWRA) and other aid groups.

The session came as the deadline approaches for Israel to ensure more aid enters Gaza or face potential cuts in military assistance from the United States.

This guy is a real hero. It is interesting that he received a very sympathetic hearing from the Labour chairwoman of this UK Parliamentary Committee. The last Conservative government was overtly pro-Israel but the new Labour administration is less gung ho in its support for that state. Although, the Labour government has to be seen to be taking a balanced and even-handed approach to both sides in the Gaza conflict, I have little doubt that the vast majority of Labour MP's are more sympathetic to the plight of the Palestinians in comparison to their Conservative colleagues when they were in government. However, if Britain continues to provide military support to Israel, I can see increasing tensions developing within the Parliamentary Labour Party, especially on the back benches, as the civilian death count rapidly rises (and it is very high now).

The Labour Party in Britain relies very heavily on the Moslem vote within the inner cities of England. Labour support from the bulk of Moslem voters was a natural given until the last two elections. At the last election in July, cracks in this support became evident, with Labour losing six of its seats (constituencies) to Moslem, pro-Gaza candidates even where elsewhere Labour was sweeping the board on the way to a huge Parliamentary majority. One current Labour minister only won her seat by the skin of her teeth. If the conflict in the Middle East continues to escalate, the tensions within the Labour Party will become more and more apparent, especially between the Labour front bench (those MP's who are ministers in Starmer's cabinet) and the rank and file back benchers. Labour could also see a huge and permanent haemorrhaging of its core Moslem support, which could lead to it even losing the next election. Hence, where the current conflict in Gaza and Lebanon is concerned, the stakes couldn't be higher for the current Labour administration.​

On the 'How are you feeling' thread, Forum member Tomiro recently posted the following (see: How are you feeling?)

While being pleasantly surprised, I'm thinking about this C session from 2022:

(irjo) What are the chances that Trump will be re-elected as president of the USA in the coming elections?

A: Remote.

Q: (L) Does that mean that other weird things might happen?

A: Yes

Q: (Joe) Does that mean there won't be a presidential election in 2024?

A: Not exactly. Wait and see!

So are we already in 'remote' territory (he did survive multiple assassination attempts), or is it likely that some events will unfold between now and inaguration?

Although Trump is now US President elect, he won't be assuming office for another two months (20th January). Some Forum members have suggested that he might find himself walking straight into a crisis, perhaps an engineered financial crash. Afterall, the PTB presented him with the Covid (faux) epidemic last time round. However, could it be a war with Iran and Russia this time? Could the Neo Cons in Washington be setting up a confrontation with Iran whilst the malleable Biden is still the president leaving Trump to pick up the pieces? In rugby terms, this is what would be called a "hospital pass".

I post here a recent radio interview with Colonel Douglas Macgregor in which he gives his views on the likely policy incoming President Donald Trump will adopt as regards the Middle East - see:

My main takeaways are that he thinks the Balfour Declaration is now dead and America's position in the Middle East is finished, the US having lost all credibility in the Arab world.​
