MORE Islamic Negative Grimy Truth

John R. Houk, Blog Editor

© May 1, 2026

I blog on three separate blogging platforms: Substack (John’s Newsletter), Blogger – owned by Google (SlantRight 2.0) and WordPress (Conservative-Patriot Christian Right [CPCR]).

You might ask, “John, why do you post on three separate blogs rather than one exclusively?”

I’ve maintain blogging platforms over the decades to combat platform censorship. Before the COVID Tyranny primarily Blogger would censor inconvenient Islamic facts. Apparently Muslims are offended with facts easily found in the Quran, Hadith, Sira, Sunna, etc. that portrays Islam in all its negative grimy truth. Also apparently negative grimy truth is against the Blogger Community Standards. WordPress would occasionally censor Islamic facts but a bit differently: WordPress would prevent a post critical of Islam from showing up in an Islamic dominated nation – usually Pakistan.

Of course during the COVID tyranny (Biden installed years), Blogger was extremely harsh in censorship of anything anti-Narrative. But TODAY I’m focusing on censoring Islamic negative grimy truth.

On April 25, 2026 I posted, “Islam’s Sexual Predator Problem”. I posted on all three blogs. GUESS which platform censored and removed the post with a Community Guidelines warning?

“This post was deleted because it violates Blogger Community Guidelines. To republish, please update the content to adhere to guidelines.”

Yup – Blogger. My discovery of censorship was on April 28. I appealed the decision. Sadly as of April 30 I have not heard a decision. (This post will not be posted until May 1.) If you missed the post, it was originally an American Thinker cross post by Richard C. Crandall. You can also read the post on the non-censoring platforms HERE & HERE.

I suspect BLOGGER will censor this post as well. Not only because I am complaining about censorship. But also because I’m irritated enough to share so more Islamic negative grimy truth.

The First Share: The Gatestone Institute (on 4/30/26) posted “The World’s Shameful Silence on Hamas”. The author shares some inconvenient facts the Muslim Brotherhood founded Hamas is still controlling Gaza. If that’s not bad enough, the real story is Hamas governing authorities are forcing Muslim women to perform sex to receive food. (Islam’s Prophet legacy continues in 21st century.)

The Second Share: Is a Bitchute video uploaded by ElGato_Weebee on April 29, 2026 entitled, “HISTORY OF PALESTINE THAT PALESTINIANS DON’T WANT YOU TO SEE”. ElGato does not provide a description. I can tell from the 19:42-Minute video it was originally acquired from Turner Classic Movies (TCM). The great part is the video has a narrator pointing out the inconvenient facts from circa 1945 about the Arabs who would later call themselves Palestinians. Yeah, Jew-Haters will hate these inconvenient facts from an old news reel.

(Blog Editor: WordPress does not embed Bitchute videos. Good News – I have a Rumble account. I’m uploading ElGato’s video to my Rumble Channel.)

The World’s Shameful Silence on Hamas

By Bassam Tawil

April 30, 2026

Gatestone Institute

• Six months after the ceasefire went into effect in the Gaza Strip, Hamas remains firmly in power. Despite international promises, diplomatic initiatives, and the much-publicized “Board of Peace,” the Iran-backed Islamist group has not disarmed, relinquished control, or moderated its behavior. Instead, it appears to be using the ceasefire as an opportunity to entrench its rule, regroup militarily, and tighten its grip on the Palestinian population.

• The persistence of Hamas rule also raises serious questions about the Trump administration’s policy. Why is Hamas still in power six months after the ceasefire? Why has Trump’s “Board of Peace” failed to achieve its most basic objective: forcing Hamas to hand over its weapons and relinquish control over the Gaza Strip? If anything, the ceasefire has strengthened Hamas, giving it time to rearm, reorganize, and reassert control over the population.

• Why is there insufficient pressure on key mediators such as Egypt and Qatar to hold Hamas accountable? What concrete steps will the Trump Administration take to ensure that Hamas does not remain the de facto ruler of the Gaza Strip?

• Without decisive action, the current approach is legitimizing an Islamist terror regime, Hamas, committed to Israel’s destruction, engaged in the systematic abuse of its own people, and, as the Trump Administration has seen with Iran, no intention whatever of giving up its rule.

• So long as Hamas remains in power, there can be no positive future for the Gaza Strip.

While much of the world’s attention remains fixed on Iran and the broader regional conflict, a darker and largely ignored reality is unfolding inside the Gaza Strip: credible and deeply disturbing reports of sexual exploitation, abuse, and coercion carried out under Hamas rule.

New testimonies emerging from the Gaza Strip reveal that Hamas terrorists are systematically sexually exploiting vulnerable Palestinian women — demanding sex in exchange for basic aid, food, and shelter. The accounts describe a predatory system targeting widows, displaced mothers, and divorcees without male breadwinners, with victims threatened into silence by Hamas operatives.

Six months after the ceasefire went into effect in the Gaza Strip, Hamas remains firmly in power. Despite international promises, diplomatic initiatives, and the much-publicized “Board of Peace,” the Iran-backed Islamist group has not disarmed, relinquished control, or moderated its behavior. Instead, it appears to be using the ceasefire as an opportunity to entrench its rule, regroup militarily, and tighten its grip on the Palestinian population.

According to an investigative report in Britain’s Daily Mail, Palestinian women are being sexually abused by Hamas terrorists and forced to have sex in return for food aid. Human rights organizations in the Gaza Strip told the newspaper that up to 60,000 women are vulnerable, with reports also indicating a rise in child marriages and pregnancies.

The report quotes a Gazan man, whose identity was not released for security reasons, describing “how he found a widow displaced in the war being molested inside a tent by ‘a bunch of’ Hamas members and was warned to stay silent”:

“We were contacted by the wife of a friend. She had asked a [Hamas military wing] Qassam Brigades commander to help her, but he took advantage of her. His behavior is disgraceful. We investigated the matter and found her in a tent in the Gharabli area where a bunch of Qassam members were taking advantage of her. We informed the leadership but were told we had to keep silent about it.”

The report added:

“Another Gazan man confirmed that a similar episode had happened with one of his female neighbours, who was blackmailed by ‘one of Hamas’s charity organisations… they wanted her to wh*** herself in exchange for a food parcel, or an aid voucher, or 100 shekels.'”

Noor (not her real name), a divorced mother of four, recounted:

“I am a mother of four children. I am displaced because of the war and I do not belong to a recognised displacement camp, so I did not receive any aid. I went to an Islamic charity that distributes aid to displaced and needy people in Gaza. I was welcomed by a man who looked religious, like a sheikh. He said he would stand by me and help me. I told him I was separated from my husband. He said: ‘Oh, separated? A woman as beautiful as you?'”

She said the man took her phone number under the pretext that he wanted to help her.

“From the beginning, the way he spoke to me felt like harassment. I am much younger than him. I trusted him because he was an older man; I saw him like a father. He is the age of my father, but he harassed me directly. I was afraid, of course. He was pursuing me. I told him I would expose him. He said: ‘You cannot expose me, I am the government here.'”

Noor added, “They exploit women’s need for help. But the women are too scared to speak up.”

Even more disturbing are allegations involving children. A separate report by the Daily Mail tells of minors who have been sexually abused by Hamas-affiliated clerics and then blackmailed into silence. Families, according to testimonies, are threatened with severe consequences, including accusations of collaborating with Israel, if they dare to speak out. In Palestinian society, an accusation of collaboration with Israel can amount to a death sentence.

A nine-year-old Palestinian boy said he was sexually assaulted by a sheikh inside a mosque:

“I went to pray at the mosque that day, it was before the ‘asr prayer, I was studying the Quran,’ says the nine-year-old before naming the Sheikh that was there. We were studying the Qur’an together. He said to me, ‘come with me, I want to give you something nice.’ He took me to the restrooms and undressed me, took off my pants and had his way with me. I started to scream and then I cried.”

The report relates the experiences of other victims:

“[A] ten-year-old described how he used to be the first child to arrive at the mosque until one day a Sheikh asked to follow him upstairs. ‘So I went upstairs, he pulled down my pants and started to do filthy things to me,’ the boy said.

“A 42-year-old father of a third victim who was raped in a Mosque in Khan Younes, recalls how his hysterical wife called him at work to say: ‘Your son is bleeding and has bruises all over his body.'”

These accounts are not isolated. In fact, they point to a broader pattern.

The use of sexual violence by Hamas did not begin in the Gaza Strip during the recent war, which erupted with the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led invasion of Israel. On that day, Hamas terrorists carried out widespread acts of rape and sexual abuse against Israeli girls and women. Israeli hostages – both male and female – who were held by Hamas have since reported sexual harassment and abuse while in captivity.

What is now emerging from the Gaza Strip suggests that such brutality is not only directed outward, against Israelis, but also inward, against Palestinians themselves.

Yet the response from the international community has been conspicuously muted.

Where are the global human rights organizations? Where are the international women’s groups that are usually quick to condemn sexual violence in conflict zones? Why has there been no urgent investigation by the United Nations into Hamas’s crimes against Palestinian women and children? Why has UN Women failed to respond meaningfully to these allegations?

The silence is beyond offensive. One possible explanation is fear – both among local NGOs operating under Hamas rule and among international organizations wary of confronting the Islamist terror group. Another is political bias: a reluctance to highlight abuses that complicate the prevailing narrative that views Israel as the only villain.

Whatever the reason, the failure to address these allegations amounts to a betrayal of the very people these organizations claim to defend.

The persistence of Hamas rule also raises serious questions about the Trump administration’s policy. Why is Hamas still in power six months after the ceasefire? Why has Trump’s “Board of Peace” failed to achieve its most basic objective: forcing Hamas to hand over its weapons and relinquish control over the Gaza Strip? If anything, the ceasefire has strengthened Hamas, giving it time to rearm, reorganize, and reassert control over the population.

The Trump Administration, which has championed the ceasefire deal, now faces a critical test. Why is there insufficient pressure on key mediators such as Egypt and Qatar to hold Hamas accountable? What concrete steps will the Trump Administration take to ensure that Hamas does not remain the de facto ruler of the Gaza Strip?

Without decisive action, the current approach is legitimizing an Islamist terror regime, Hamas, committed to Israel’s destruction, engaged in the systematic abuse of its own people, and, as the Trump Administration has seen with Iran, no intention whatever of giving up its rule.

So long as Hamas remains in power, there can be no positive future for the Gaza Strip.

While much of the world’s attention remains fixed on Iran and the broader regional conflict, a darker and largely ignored reality is unfolding inside the Gaza Strip: credible and deeply disturbing reports of sexual exploitation, abuse, and coercion carried out under Hamas rule.

New testimonies emerging from the Gaza Strip reveal that Hamas terrorists are systematically sexually exploiting vulnerable Palestinian women — demanding sex in exchange for basic aid, food, and shelter. The accounts describe a predatory system targeting widows, displaced mothers, and divorcees without male breadwinners, with victims threatened into silence by Hamas operatives.

Six months after the ceasefire went into effect in the Gaza Strip, Hamas remains firmly in power. Despite international promises, diplomatic initiatives, and the much-publicized “Board of Peace,” the Iran-backed Islamist group has not disarmed, relinquished control, or moderated its behavior. Instead, it appears to be using the ceasefire as an opportunity to entrench its rule, regroup militarily, and tighten its grip on the Palestinian population.

According to an investigative report in Britain’s Daily Mail, Palestinian women are being sexually abused by Hamas terrorists and forced to have sex in return for food aid. Human rights organizations in the Gaza Strip told the newspaper that up to 60,000 women are vulnerable, with reports also indicating a rise in child marriages and pregnancies.

The report quotes a Gazan man, whose identity was not released for security reasons, describing “how he found a widow displaced in the war being molested inside a tent by ‘a bunch of’ Hamas members and was warned to stay silent”:

“We were contacted by the wife of a friend. She had asked a [Hamas military wing] Qassam Brigades commander to help her, but he took advantage of her. His behavior is disgraceful. We investigated the matter and found her in a tent in the Gharabli area where a bunch of Qassam members were taking advantage of her. We informed the leadership but were told we had to keep silent about it.”

The report added:

“Another Gazan man confirmed that a similar episode had happened with one of his female neighbours, who was blackmailed by ‘one of Hamas’s charity organisations… they wanted her to wh*** herself in exchange for a food parcel, or an aid voucher, or 100 shekels.'”

Noor (not her real name), a divorced mother of four, recounted:

“I am a mother of four children. I am displaced because of the war and I do not belong to a recognised displacement camp, so I did not receive any aid. I went to an Islamic charity that distributes aid to displaced and needy people in Gaza. I was welcomed by a man who looked religious, like a sheikh. He said he would stand by me and help me. I told him I was separated from my husband. He said: ‘Oh, separated? A woman as beautiful as you?'”

She said the man took her phone number under the pretext that he wanted to help her.

“From the beginning, the way he spoke to me felt like harassment. I am much younger than him. I trusted him because he was an older man; I saw him like a father. He is the age of my father, but he harassed me directly. I was afraid, of course. He was pursuing me. I told him I would expose him. He said: ‘You cannot expose me, I am the government here.'”

Noor added, “They exploit women’s need for help. But the women are too scared to speak up.”

Even more disturbing are allegations involving children. A separate report by the Daily Mail tells of minors who have been sexually abused by Hamas-affiliated clerics and then blackmailed into silence. Families, according to testimonies, are threatened with severe consequences, including accusations of collaborating with Israel, if they dare to speak out. In Palestinian society, an accusation of collaboration with Israel can amount to a death sentence.

A nine-year-old Palestinian boy said he was sexually assaulted by a sheikh inside a mosque:

“I went to pray at the mosque that day, it was before the ‘asr prayer, I was studying the Quran,’ says the nine-year-old before naming the Sheikh that was there. We were studying the Qur’an together. He said to me, ‘come with me, I want to give you something nice.’ He took me to the restrooms and undressed me, took off my pants and had his way with me. I started to scream and then I cried.”

The report relates the experiences of other victims:

“[A] ten-year-old described how he used to be the first child to arrive at the mosque until one day a Sheikh asked to follow him upstairs. ‘So I went upstairs, he pulled down my pants and started to do filthy things to me,’ the boy said.

“A 42-year-old father of a third victim who was raped in a Mosque in Khan Younes, recalls how his hysterical wife called him at work to say: ‘Your son is bleeding and has bruises all over his body.'”

These accounts are not isolated. In fact, they point to a broader pattern.

The use of sexual violence by Hamas did not begin in the Gaza Strip during the recent war, which erupted with the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led invasion of Israel. On that day, Hamas terrorists carried out widespread acts of rape and sexual abuse against Israeli girls and women. Israeli hostages – both male and female – who were held by Hamas have since reported sexual harassment and abuse while in captivity.

What is now emerging from the Gaza Strip suggests that such brutality is not only directed outward, against Israelis, but also inward, against Palestinians themselves.

Yet the response from the international community has been conspicuously muted.

Where are the global human rights organizations? Where are the international women’s groups that are usually quick to condemn sexual violence in conflict zones? Why has there been no urgent investigation by the United Nations into Hamas’s crimes against Palestinian women and children? Why has UN Women failed to respond meaningfully to these allegations?

The silence is beyond offensive. One possible explanation is fear – both among local NGOs operating under Hamas rule and among international organizations wary of confronting the Islamist terror group. Another is political bias: a reluctance to highlight abuses that complicate the prevailing narrative that views Israel as the only villain.

Whatever the reason, the failure to address these allegations amounts to a betrayal of the very people these organizations claim to defend.

The persistence of Hamas rule also raises serious questions about the Trump administration’s policy. Why is Hamas still in power six months after the ceasefire? Why has Trump’s “Board of Peace” failed to achieve its most basic objective: forcing Hamas to hand over its weapons and relinquish control over the Gaza Strip? If anything, the ceasefire has strengthened Hamas, giving it time to rearm, reorganize, and reassert control over the population.

The Trump Administration, which has championed the ceasefire deal, now faces a critical test. Why is there insufficient pressure on key mediators such as Egypt and Qatar to hold Hamas accountable? What concrete steps will the Trump Administration take to ensure that Hamas does not remain the de facto ruler of the Gaza Strip?

Without decisive action, the current approach is legitimizing an Islamist terror regime, Hamas, committed to Israel’s destruction, engaged in the systematic abuse of its own people, and, as the Trump Administration has seen with Iran, no intention whatever of giving up its rule.

So long as Hamas remains in power, there can be no positive future for the Gaza Strip.

Rumble Description: … I can tell from the 19:42-Minute video it was originally acquired from Turner Classic Movies (TCM). The great part is the video has a narrator pointing out the inconvenient facts from circa 1945 about the Arabs who would later call themselves Palestinians. Yeah, Jew-Haters will hate these inconvenient facts from an old news reel.

Voting rights protections were created to ensure that every community has a fair opportunity to elect representatives of their choice. They have helped Hispanic communities, Asian American communities—including Korean, Japanese, and many others—and Arab American communities gain meaningful representation in our democracy.

These protections were born out of the sacrifices and struggles of the Black civil rights movement, which fought not just for one

Why Trump’s Iranian Strategic Mistake Is Redrawing The Global Map From Hormuz To Eurasia

Why Trump’s Iranian Strategic Mistake Is Redrawing The Global Map From Hormuz To Eurasia

By Uriel Araujo

Escalation with Iran is generating worldwide consequences. Oil market volatility, regional instability, and Eurasian security concerns beyond the Middle East highlight the broader geopolitical stakes. Iran’s resilience and the risk of prolonged conflict challenge Washington’s objectives. The war may thus prove far more costly than expected.

The past weekend offered, once again, a blunt reminder that the US-Israel war against Iran is not unfolding as many in Washington and Tel Aviv had hoped. Iranian missile and drone strikes have caused casualties inside Israel, while attacks on Gulf facilities and US allies have intensified. Reports of mounting US military casualties are circulating, even as the Pentagon attempts to limit details. Meanwhile, despite American naval deployments, disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz continue, reducing tanker transits dramatically and basically keeping global energy markets on edge. Moreover, perhaps most importantly, Iran’s political system has not collapsed. The Islamic Republic stands in fact defiant and fully operational. This has wider consequences, even globally.

US President Donald Trump’s decision to escalate the conflict alongside Israel marked a dramatic departure from the “no more wars” narrative that used to energize his “MAGA” (“Make America Great Again”) political base. I’ve recently argued that entering a large-scale war against Iran could destroy this very political coalition. The core promise of “America First” was, after all, precisely to avoid endless Middle Eastern wars while rebuilding the American economy at home.

In June 2025, I warned that direct US intervention in an Iran-Israel war would likely send oil prices toward $120–$150 per barrel and push American gasoline prices into the politically dangerous $4–$5 per gallon range . Well, on Monday (March 9), Brent crude briefly surged past $119 per barrel, the highest level since June 2022

The spike followed weeks of escalating tensions and fears that the Strait of Hormuz could effectively close completely. At one point, tanker transits dropped from roughly two dozen per day to only a handful, while overall ship traffic through the Strait fell from about one hundred vessels daily to single digits. Prices have since retreated somewhat, hovering around $84–$86 on Tuesday, but the market remains extremely volatile. Energy traders are reacting to every military development, with options markets still betting on scenarios where crude climbs toward $135 or even $150.

Thus, even if oil stabilizes for now, the geopolitical risk premium is here to stay for as long as the conflict continues. Hormuz remains the world’s most sensitive energy chokepoint, and the attacks on Gulf infrastructure have added further uncertainty.

That being said, Trump may still try to extract advantages from the situation. Trump’s foreign policy style often is bluntly “transactional”. One just needs to point out how he has repeatedly attempted to leverage previous US aid to Ukraine in order to obtain political concessions (regarding rare-earth minerals and so on). Similarly, he has also angered the Israeli right with proposals such as his Gaza “development” plan.

In the context of the current war, a similar logic could emerge. Analysts have noted that the conflict is already costing Washington billions of dollars in munitions and logistical support. If the campaign drags on, Trump may seek to “reimburse” the United States by demanding expanded basing rights or economic concessions in the region. The US President, in his typical manner, has already floated the idea of “taking over” the strait.

In other words, if Washington and Tel Aviv were to declare victory, Trump could push for expanded US military bases, control of strategic infrastructure, and privileged access to Iran’s energy sector.

Such an outcome, in this scenario, would carry considerable strategic costs for Israel, naturally. A prolonged US military presence across Iranian territory would shift the regional balance in Washington’s favour. The Jewish state might then win the war (in this scenario) but find itself sharing the geopolitical spoils with its superpower ally: I’ve written before about how Trump was apparently seeking to “recalibrate” the complex US-Israeli relationship.

Be as it may, emerging reports already suggest divergences between Washington and Tel Aviv. Trump in any case already seems eager to limit the war’s duration due to domestic political risks and rising oil prices, while Israeli leaders seem determined to continue until Iranian military capabilities are fully degraded.

The stakes of course go beyond US and regional actors: China, for one thing, is being severely impacted, there being no broad exception for Chinese vessels in the Strait.

Moscow in turn has long regarded its Iranian ally as also a crucial buffer state helping stabilize Russia’s southern strategic arc. If the United States were to gain military access to Iran, the implications would thus be profound enough. American forces could, in such a scenario, position themselves near the Caspian basin, within logistical reach of the Caucasus and Central Asia and much closer to southern Russia. This would amount to further layers of the geopolitical “encirclement” of Russia.

In addition, from an American perspective, a weakened Iran would ripple across Eurasia: accelerating Western influence in the South Caucasus, also potentially pushing Central Asian states toward greater Western cooperation

A decisive US-Israeli victory, however, is very far from assured. Iran’s asymmetric capabilities (missiles, maritime disruption) remain potent, and prolonged Hormuz instability could inflict massive economic costs globally, thereby turning tactical wins into strategic failures.

And yet, there may be no easy exit, for the Rubicon has already been crossed, so to speak. The ongoing war may very well be Trump’s greatest strategic mistake (perhaps motivated by Israeli pressures, including blackmail – a possibility that even political scientist John Mearsheimer concedes). The consequences, however, should be global and long-lasting, with unpredictable enough outcomes.

Russia’s Middle East Doctrine: Analysing Sergey Lavrov’s Response To The Third Gulf War

Russia’s Middle East Doctrine: Analysing Sergey Lavrov’s Response To The Third Gulf War

By Andrew Korybko

Many mistakenly believe that Russia is allied with Iran against the Gulf Kingdoms and Israel, but the reality is that it’s always carefully balanced between them, though that doesn’t mean that Russia won’t call out what it considers to be Israeli aggression against Iran and Arab hypocrisy.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov articulated his country’s official position towards the Third Gulf War, which began with the joint US-Israeli attack on Iran, during an Ambassadorial Roundtable last week. He began by lamenting that it “can have dire consequences for the entire world, undermine global stability and economy, upend everything which used to be called globalisation, and viewed as a process for bringing about prosperity for the entire humankind. All this has been destroyed.”

He then segued into acknowledging the internal debates with the US over its goals as well as the contradictory statements thereto from its leading officials. In his view, “one of the goals consisted of sowing division among countries within this region, i.e., the Persian Gulf countries, Iran and its Arab neighbours.” This has admittedly been achieved to an extent and correspondingly impedes Russia’s master plan of promoting a Collective Security Concept for the Gulf that it’s worked on for years already.

According to Lavrov, “Each participating country would set out the threats or the risks to its security as it sees them. Then we could begin with an agreement on transparency in military activities; transparency and perhaps limitations on the number of exercises that each country along the Gulf coast conducts. That would include mutual visits by military personnel and joint economic and trade projects.” That’s obviously not going to happen anytime soon, let alone at all, given the Third Gulf War.

Be that as it may, Lavrov described both the Arabs and Iranians as Russia’s strategic partners with whom it sympathizes due to the suffering caused by the war that was unleashed by the US-Israeli duopoly, which might possibly come to receive support from NATO if some senior officials get what they want. Russia is thus calling for an immediate end to their aggression and is disappointed that its Gulf partners are reportedly considering sponsoring a UNSC Resolution that condemns Iran but not the US and Israel.

He instead suggested that they follow the US’ lead from last year when it sponsored a UNSC Resolution calling for an end to the Ukrainian Conflict as soon as possible. Their shared US ally will of course “seize upon such an initiative” as the abovementioned one that they’re reportedly considering sponsoring because it “will only divide countries” even more, he said, so the odds of them following his advice are low. Nevertheless, Lavrov reaffirmed Russia’s interest in mediating, which Putin earlier made apparent.

Near the end of the event, he also reaffirmed Russia’s support for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, which it considers to be the reason for regional instability. He then explained Russia’s abstention from last fall’s UNSC Resolution on the basis that his country didn’t want to block it after its Arab partners supported it. All in all, Lavrov’s articulation of Russia’s official position towards the Third Gulf War and related issues like the Palestinian one was a timely reminder of its actual policy.

Many mistakenly believe that Russia is allied with Iran against the Gulf Kingdoms and Israel, but the reality is that it’s always carefully balanced between them, though that doesn’t mean that Russia won’t call out Israeli aggression against Iran and Arab hypocrisy like Lavrov just did several times. Russia clearly sympathizes with Iran and might even be sharing intelligence with it for targeting the US’ regional assets, but ultimately, Russia wants to mediate an end to the conflict before it spirals out of control.

Their shared US ally will of course “seize upon such an initiative” as the abovementioned one that they’re reportedly considering sponsoring because it “will only divide countries” even more, he said, so the odds of them following his advice are low. Nevertheless, Lavrov reaffirmed Russia’s interest in mediating, which Putin earlier made apparent.

Near the end of the event, he also reaffirmed Russia’s support for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, which it considers to be the reason for regional instability. He then explained Russia’s abstention from last fall’s UNSC Resolution on the basis that his country didn’t want to block it after its Arab partners supported it. All in all, Lavrov’s articulation of Russia’s official position towards the Third Gulf War and related issues like the Palestinian one was a timely reminder of its actual policy.

Many mistakenly believe that Russia is allied with Iran against the Gulf Kingdoms and Israel, but the reality is that it’s always carefully balanced between them, though that doesn’t mean that Russia won’t call out Israeli aggression against Iran and Arab hypocrisy like Lavrov just did several times. Russia clearly sympathizes with Iran and might even be sharing intelligence with it for targeting the US’ regional assets, but ultimately, Russia wants to mediate an end to the conflict before it spirals out of control.

Knowing how #Israel operates, knowing how they feel about #Arabs and West Asians, to suggest that #Iran must "unconditionally surrender" to them or us, is madness.

No country in the world would agree to "unconditional surrender" under the best of conditions, but they sure as hell aren't going to do it for genocidal maniacs like the #US and #Israel.

Israel is doing an invasion of multiple countries under the protection of US military forces. Trump is giving them 600 MILLION DOLLARS worth of bombs, without approval, to help them take over the Middle East.

That will turn this irretrievably into an existential fight to the death on multiple fronts.

We cannot fight a land war in Iran. We don't have the manpower, and a draft for the Holy Epstein War would have American streets on fire.

Why is it that we're willing to give all our treasure and sacrifice our troops for Israel? What have they ever done for us? Serious question. Cause I'm seeing a lot of downside and no up.

As an aside, do you know why #Arabs are “#White” for US census purposes, and not a designation like Hispanic?

Because of a court case : Dow v. United States (1915). George Dow, a Syrian Christian immigrant, was initially denied citizenship because the court did not consider Syrians “white persons” under the Naturalization Act of 1790.

On appeal, the Fourth Circuit ruled that Syrians—along with other "Western Asiatics" were part of the #Caucasian race and thus eligible for citizenship. This decision hinged on anthropological arguments that went thusly:

Where was Jesus born?
Nazareth.
More broadly, where was Jesus born?
The Middle East / Western Asia
Is Jesus white, your honor?

We are white because snowflakes couldn’t handle a brown messiah.

Middle East Eye Editor: The Iran battle is a regional battle for survival; regional countries must defend Iran today, even if it means preserving their own future

David Hirst:
🔹All countries in the region, regardless of their past relations with the Islamic Republic, must do their utmost to defend Iran and guarantee its sovereignty today.

🔹Iran is fighting to preserve its sovereignty and independence; and in return, Israel seeks to divide the countries of the region.

🔹The Iran battle is a regional battle for survival. All Arab rulers in the region must understand this, even if it means preserving their own future.

Man, #Israelis have songs and chants about burning villages in #Gaza and killing #Arabs, and these fragile white kids from the #US are afraid of the word Intifada?

Translation: #Mossad is cooking up a #falseflag in #Europe because everyone hates the '#jewish state' but we need White #people to hate #Muslims and #Arabs so we can continue murdering and displacing them with #Western funding.
