๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑโš”๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธAl-Ansar Ashes: Beneath Israel's Iron Skies, Jenin's Silent Scream๐Ÿ’”

In the early hours of a bleak Sunday, the Israeli forces launched a targeted assault on the Al-Ansar Mosque in the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, a stark illustration of Israel's relentless military aggression. The justification provided for this act of violence was the alleged harboring of "terror operatives" from Hamas and Islamic Jihad, a narrative that crumbled as daylight revealed the ruins and the human cost of this odious operation.

The visuals of the mosque's battered structure echo the grim reality of military strategies that show no reverence for the sanctity of religious sanctuaries. This brutal operation left at least one person dead and several injured, according to Palestinian medics, a scene that unveils the face of systemic violence perpetrated against the Palestinians.

Peeling back the layers of cynicism enveloping this brutal military operation reveals a tale of enduring oppression and a stark display of Israel's disdain towards the sanctity of religious spaces in Palestinian territories. These religious sanctuaries, often shelters for the innocent, become all the more cynical targets under Israeli assaults. The narrative spun by Israel, painting the victims as 'terror operatives,' is a malignant misrepresentation, a nefarious attempt to vilify the victims to justify the unjustifiable, showcasing a brazen display of militaristic hubris and contempt for international law.

As the ruins of Al-Ansar Mosque lay bare, the unyielding oppression faced by the Palestinians under the iron fist of Israeli military aggression becomes glaringly evident. The chilling apathy of the global stage towards such blatant acts of aggression speaks volumes of the skewed scales of justice in this enduring conflict, spotlighting the harrowing reality of an international system that appears to be blind to the cries of despair emanating from the rubble of oppression in Jenin.

Are we looking at further escalation with Hezbollah? Israel, have you thought this through?

The commander of the Iranian Quds Force, Ismail Qaani, has landed in Syria.

Apparently, to control pro-Iranian militias who are on high alert on the border between Israel and Syria.

The West is burying itself in the rubble of Gaza

Any sane, decent human being in the West who supports Palestine and the Palestinian cause: don't let those who support Zionism try to get you on the back foot. You need to put them on the back foot. They're trying to ban Pro-Palestinian protests, demonstrations, and any public expressions of support for the Palestinians. They're trying to box you in, to intimidate and bully you into accepting their disgraceful narrative, their shameless and demonic endorsement of genocide in Gaza.

They want to vanish the Palestinian cause from public discourse, to erase Palestine from the intellectual, cultural, and political discourse. They want to expel Palestinians from the territory of discussion, just as they want to expel Palestinians from their geographic territory.

You cannot allow this to happen. The entirety of the Global South supports Palestine, and that's most of the people on Earth, the overwhelming majority of people on this planet support the Palestinians. So, don't let them make you believe that you're some sort of fringe minority or extremist because you support the Palestinian cause. You represent the position of most of the people in the world.

This issue, the Palestinian issue and the degenerate brutality of Israel, its support by the United States government and all the Western governments for the wanton killing of civilians - men, women, children, babies, the elderly in Gaza, the bombing of hospitals, the bombing of churches - this has divided the world. I'm not being hyperbolic about this. This has divided the world between the truly civilized and the truly savage. Everyone can see it. Everyone in the world can see it. There's the old colonialist, imperialist, racist, lying, belligerent, and bloodthirsty Western power structure that has never changed, that has never evolved, that's never civilized. And then there are the people who are actually decent, who have some sense of morality, people who sincerely believe in civilized human values.

To quote Joe Biden - the world is at an inflection point, and the Palestinian issue is what decides whether you're someone who will let the brutal past of colonialism, ethnic cleansing, and dehumanization continue into the future, or if you're someone who actually wants the future to be different from the miserable past that we've escaped from, what they were trying to escape from. It decides who wants the future to be better, who wants the future to be an improvement on the past, who wants to rescue the future from the grip of the savage elites who want to continue to rule by violence and war, and by shedding the blood of innocents.

Gaza will triumph, Palestine will be free, there's no question about that. But everyone who opposes the inevitable triumph of Gaza and the freedom of Palestine, and everyone who aligns themselves with the vicious inhuman extremists in the Israeli government, anyone who does that will be forever discredited on the world stage, humiliated and disgraced in the history books for all time to come.

If you're a Westerner and you love your country at all, if you love your civilization at all, if you want your societies to come to good in any way whatsoever, then you have to do all you can to make your governments and your leaders in the private sector stop supporting the carpet bombing of Palestinian children, stop supporting the starving of Palestinian babies, and stop supporting the state terrorism of Israel.

Every bomb that Israel drops on Gaza doesn't only kill Palestinian civilians, it kills your reputation, the reputation of your society, of your civilization. It kills your credibility, it kills your standing in the world. If you save the Palestinians, you save yourselves, you save your nation. The soul of your civilization will live or die in the Gaza Strip.

โ€” ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ/๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ/๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ง/๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ถ 15th day of the war, October 21st status update and major events:

โ€“ Extremely heavy airstrikes on Gaza throughout the day, especially in the evening. Still a huge lack of food, water, medicine and electricity.

โ€“ In the early morning, the Rafah crossing was temporarily opened, and 20 trucks with aid managed to get into Gaza.

โ€“ Sporadic rocket attacks by Hamas and PIJ took place on cities like Sderot and Ashkelon.

โ€“ Throughout the entire day, Hezbollah carried out many attacks with ATGMs against IDF troops, vehicles and radar stations in numerous settlements near the Lebanese border. At least one Hummer and one Merkava were destroyed, and several IDF soldiers were killed.

โ€“ Hezbollah announced 6 new martyrs, bringing the total amount of casualties they suffered since the beginning of the war to 19 deaths.

โ€“ As a response to the Hezbollah attacks, the IDF carried out artillery shellings and drone strikes on Hezbollah positions in Lebanon. It seems that the IDF has adapted and is now engaging more directly and proactively against Hezbollah, targeting ATGM squads before they get into position, as well as carrying out targeted drone strikes on known Hezbollah vehicles and manned hideouts.

โ€“ The Islamic Resistance in Iraq carried out an attack with two suicide drones against the U.S. military base in Erbil International Airport.

โ€“ The IAF carried out an airstrike on Al-Ansari Mosque inside the Jenin camp in the West Bank, claiming it was used as a hideout by Hamas and PIJ.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑโš”๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธConvoys of Compassion Amidst Cruelty: Gaza's Glimmer of Hope Under Siege

In the shadow of relentless Israeli bombardments, a second convoy of humanitarian aid bravely made its way into the besieged Gaza Strip, a flicker of hope amidst the dark backdrop of destruction. The convoy, crossing from Egypt into Gaza, arrived against the backdrop of unyielding Israeli airstrikes that claimed 55 lives overnight. The carnage that unfolded was a stark juxtaposition to the convoy's mission of mercy, bearing vital supplies to alleviate the suffering of beleaguered Gazans.

The West, in desperate need of a moral compass, remains conspicuously silent, demonstrating a callous disregard for human lives. The dichotomy of aid trickling into Gaza while bombs rain down exposes grotesque double standards and the moral bankruptcy of Western geopolitics. The aid convoy, a symbol of humanitarian resilience, highlights the glaring gap between those driven by compassion and the cynical, calculated Western powers.

In a world blind to the suffering of the innocent, the aid convoys emerge as a beacon of humanity amidst a sea of apathy. The West's silence, stark against the valiant efforts of aid workers, paints a grim reality. The convoy's arrival, while a symbol of hope, unveils a bitter irony: as friends of Palestine extend a healing hand, the West, with its silence, allows the festering wounds to be inflicted unabated, showcasing a chilling indifference .

This grotesque dichotomy underscores the callous heart of Western geopolitics, where strategic interests trump the sanctity of life. The West's silence, seen as tacit approval of the ongoing assault, is a damning indictment of its professed values. This apathy prompts a stark question: is the Western order so steeped in cynical geopolitics that it stands mute while the skies rain terror on the helpless? This chilling reality dismantles the facade of the 'civilized world', leaving Gaza to grieve under the merciless skies of indifference.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ชStop Repeating Misinfo, Israeli Ambassador Tells Irish President

President Michael D Higginsโ€™ comments that Israel is โ€œcreating a huge humanitarian crisis โ€and leaving the Geneva convention in โ€œtattersโ€ are โ€œinflammatory,โ€ Dana Erlich said.

To actually announce in advance that youโ€™re going to break international law and announce it again and again, and do so on an innocent population,โ€ President Higgins said. โ€œI think that it really reduces all that code that was there from the second World War.โ€

In response, Ms Erlich said the remarks caused her โ€œfrustrationโ€ because โ€œthis is misinformation. Because announcing beforehand โ€“ that is not breaking, that is in accordance with international law,โ€ she told the Sunday Independent.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑโš”๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ IDF's Gaza Misadventure: A Glimpse into a Looming Catastrophe?

In a perilous and suicidal manoeuvre, an IDF soldier's life was extinguished during a ground raid in Gaza, with 3 others injured, ostensibly aimed at locating hostages besides showcasing the illusion of military prowess. This covert operation, instead of exhibiting Israel's iron fist, starkly unveiled the latent risks lurking in the dense urban maze of Gaza. The unsettling misadventure signals an alarming prelude to a larger, bloodier confrontation that looms ominously on the horizon, casting long, foreboding shadows on the already volatile region.

The chilling failure of this raid should serve as a stark warning for Israel against escalating the conflict further. With Hamas's tactical prowess on display, and the spectre of Hezbollah opening a full-fledged front from Lebanon, a larger confrontation could spell disaster. Yet, the deluded lust for battlefield victory appears to eclipse sanity in Tel Aviv's corridors of power.

In a region sitting on a tinderbox of tensions, the perilous audacity of escalating military engagements reflects a grave misjudgment. The IDF's stumble in Gaza isn't merely a tactical misstep, but a glaring showcase of the potential catastrophe awaiting should the drums of war continue to beat fervently.

This grave scenario beckons a dire question: Is Israel ready to gamble with a calamity, potentially plunging not just Gaza, but the entire region into a vortex of a regional war? The eerie silence from the West amplifies the foreboding that the worst might just be on the cusp, as Gaza and her children brace for what is likely to come.
