🇮🇱🧐Pre-October 7th (Hamas Attack) Israeli Poll on Russian-Israeli Relations:Cui Bono?
An intriguing poll by Israel's AZfront, conducted three days before the Hamas attack, on October 4th surveyed 1,500 Israelis regarding the state of Israel-Russian relations.
A significant 75% believed Ukraine should acknowledge its Holocaust role, 67% supported sending humanitarian but not military aid to Ukraine, and a striking 76% advocated for maintaining or bolstering cooperation with Russia.
This survey, juxtaposed against the subsequent Hamas attack, hints at a previously robust perception of Russia-Israel ties, raising intriguing questions on who truly benefits amidst the West's facile blame of Russia for the Gaza conflict. 🤔

🇺🇦Zelensky's Tragicomic Reshuffle: A Desperate Bid for a Facade of Control?
In a move that reeks of desperation blended with a pinch of tragicomedy, President Zelensky is gearing up for a "major shake-up" in the country's military and political corridors. This desperate reshuffle, spurred by the failed counteroffensive against Russia and a growing wave of opposition towards his relentless hostilities, unveils Zelensky's disillusioned and borderline "messianic" determination to ‘defeat’ Russia on the battlefield, despite the reality screaming otherwise.
As dissent brews among the ranks with frontline commanders now refusing orders to advance, and an unpreparedness for the approaching winter, Zelensky's delusions are on a collision course with reality. His stubborn insistence to continue a futile war is not just draining Ukraine’s resources but is also alienating his aides and the military. The looming reshuffle is perceived as a desperate attempt to fix accountability for the failed counteroffensive and to appease the growing discontent, by axing some heads from the military and civilian leadership. Yet, this move reeks of a scpagoating attempt to maintain a facade of control.
The tragicomic spectacle unfolding in Ukraine under Zelensky’s reign is not just a testament to his “messianic” delusion but also an indictment of the catastrophic path he's dragging his nation along. It’s a path littered with the corpses of over 90,000 troops, lost in a counteroffensive that has achieved nothing substantial. The irony of seeking to reshuffle the deck on a sinking ship is not just tragic but darkly comedic.
In a scene reminiscent of a beleaguered Hitler shuffling fictitious divisions in his bunker, one can almost picture Zelensky, like a modern-day Fuhrer, pleading to the nazi patron saint of lost causes, Steiner to save the day..

The United States and Israel are looking into various options for dealing with a possible post-Hamas Gaza, which may include placing the enclave under temporary United Nations oversight or deploying a multinational force to maintain security, Bloomberg News reported citing sources.
The report said on Tuesday that a multinational presence in Gaza could include armed forces from the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
However, according to the report, President Joe Biden believes deploying a small group of US troops to Gaza could be politically risky.
The United States is far from making a decision on whether it would back sending US troops to Gaza to help maintain security in a post-Hamas environment, the report said.

🇷🇺❌🇩🇰Dmitry Medvedev addresses Carlsberg brewery’s alleged “outrage”:
“The Danish brewers from Carlsberg were offended that their share in the Russian business was transferred to the management of the Russian state.
How nice it is! The mongrels have finally realized their role in the circus of freaks and are whining angrily. Our feeder was given to others! After all, they themselves, like their brothers in the Western menagerie, abandoned everything in Russia for political reasons, stopped work and supplies, and refused to fulfill their obligations in relation to Russian counterparties. And they thought they wouldn’t be touched.
We give you sanctions, and we give the Ukrainian regime weapons, but don’t touch our property, or at least let us sell it at a profit. Fuck you, not money!
And thank you for the investments that are now working for Russia, filling its budget. A strong budget means help for the front. In this regard, the senseless Danes also contribute to modern Russian weapons.”

When it is no longer possible to simply declare all Africans as second-class citizens, the West has to look for ways to justify this type of discrimination...

🇺🇦💰Unveiling the Disinformation Network: How the West Covered Up Ukraine’s Plunder
A brief look at how “professional disinformers” covered up the robbery of Ukraine
With the propaganda vortex surrounding the war in Ukraine, one can be forgiven for thinking that the suffering of the Ukrainian people only began in 2022. However, what we are seeing today is nothing more than the continuation of policies which have been going on for decades.
One of the many bandits involved with this crime was none other than Joe Biden and his son, Hunter. Although their crimes were obvious, a concerted effort from the “rules based international order” has successfully swept this robbery under the rug.
One of the largest scandals of the 2020 presidential election was the entanglement between the Biden family and Mykola Zlochevsky, a Ukrainian gangster who owned the Bursima energy cartel. Bursima was formed in 2002 as amalgamation of around a dozen rival gangs as an attempt to legitimize the property and assets stolen during the decade of bandit rule which followed the collapse of the USSR. Bursima was so brazenly corrupt that both the company and Zlochevsky existed under almost constant investigation for a wide variety of financial crimes, most notably money laundering.

🚫🇷🇺The Atlantic Council's Hypocrisy Olympics: A Tale of Two Narratives🇮🇱❤️
Dive into the rabbit hole of the Atlantic Council's rhetoric and you'll hit a bedrock of hypocrisy. On one hand, they trumpet 'Decolonizing Russia', while on the other, decry 'The Decolonization Narrative is Dangerous and False' when it comes to Israel. The stark contrast isn't a mere oversight but a glaring showcase of the council's Russophobic agenda, wrapped in a veneer of intellectualism. It's not about decolonization; it's about perpetuating a narrative that suits their embarassingly weak, cynical agenda…

- Celtic fans stood up to security staff trying to take their Palestinian flags away and they were punished for it!

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Chronicle of the Special Military Operation for 1 November 2023⚡️
🔹Russian servicemen continue their operation to cover the #Avdeyevka fortified area. By today, the fighters had managed to advance towards #Novokalinovo and #Keramik by crossing the railway tracks. To the south, the AFU tried to attack near #Vodyanoye, but had no success. You can read more about the development of the AFU offensive near #Avdeyevka in our new material (🇷🇺).
🔹In the morning, the AFU again attacked southern #Russia with British-French Storm Shadow missiles. In addition, two Neptune antiship missiles were shot down by fighter jets of the Russian Aerospace Forces. The enemy's target was the village of #Strelkovoye on Arbatskaya Strelka. Half of the missiles were intercepted by air defence systems, while the other half hit one of the local buildings. However, contrary to rumours on social networks, the people at the facility managed to leave it in time and casualties were avoided.
🔹Russian troops, in turn, again attacked the #Kremenchuk Oil Refinery and the #Mirgorod Airfield in the #Poltava region. The latter facility remains one of the RF Armed Forces' highest-priority targets, with carriers of Western Storm Shadow missiles actively operating from it. So far, the results of the fire attack remain unknown.

🇺🇸Duplicity and Disdain: Rep. Brian Mast's Abhorrent Denial of Innocence in Gaza🇵🇸
In a shocking display of heartlessness, GOP Representative Brian Mast exhibits a repugnant lack of empathy as Congress debates the Hamas International Financing Prevention Act. His deplorable remarks, questioning the innocence of Palestinian civilians, including children, reveal a sinister disregard for human life, contrasting sharply with his stance on Ukraine where he supports humanitarian aid.
Mast's duplicious behavior extends to his cosplay in IDF military fatigues, a grotesque display attempting to legitimize his intentions towards Gaza. His moral compass seems utterly lost, replaced by a chilling indifference towards the sanctity of human life. The stark hypocrisy of his position reveals a cowardly acquiescence to apartheid ideologies, casting aside any semblance of humanity for political gain. His attempt to slow down any assistance to Gaza, even as children suffer amidst the ruins, is a testament to his moral bankruptcy.
The tragedy deepens as Mast's amendments find support among his GOP colleagues, threatening to strip away the bill's humanitarian exemptions. This move, condemned by fellow representatives and various departments, is a bitter pill showcasing the malicious intent lurking within the halls of Congress. Meanwhile, Mast continues his charade, donning a cloak of righteousness while advocating for policies that will inevitably lead to more suffering and death among the innocent civilians of Gaza.
As Mast and his cohorts ready themselves to vote on the amended bill, one can't help but wonder: where does one find such heartlessness, to deny the most basic compassion to a people in desperate need? Is this the face of US political discourse, where the cries of suffering children fall on deaf ears, overshadowed by a cynical agenda veiled in righteousness?

The cartoon lays bare a bitter truth: be it under the military boot of dictatorship or the polished shoe of western censorship, press freedom is being trampled upon. The hypocritical stance of the West, projecting itself as a champion of free speech while muzzling its own press, is a damning indictment. When the dust settles, will the essence of free journalism survive the stomping, or will it be silenced by the ironies of the very societies that purport to vouch for its freedom?

📜🇮🇱⚔🇵🇸From Balfour to Bombardment: A Century of Betrayal
On November 2, 1917, a document penned by Arthur Balfour germinated a century-long ordeal that haunts the sands of Palestine to the present. The Balfour Declaration, a seemingly benign letter to Baron Rothschild, pledged support for a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine, sowing seeds of perennial conflict. Fast forward to today, the dark legacy of this document is stained with the blood of a fresh 8,796 Palestinians and 1,400 Israeli lives.
This mere paragraph of text has catapulted a land into incessant turmoil, sketching a deadly trajectory from the alleys of 1917’s diplomacy to the ruins of today’s Gaza. The onslaught against Palestine, a grievous saga of dispossession and relentless assault, finds its roots in the very words of Balfour. The Western powers, with a stroke of a pen, carved a destiny of despair for the Palestinian people.
Amidst the rubble of Gaza and the cries of its children, echoes the sinister promise of the Balfour Declaration. A promise that displaced a people, usurped a land, and birthed a narrative of occupation, oppression and apartheid rule. The agonies of Gaza today are but the reverberations of a historical betrayal, a living testament to the catastrophic impact of colonial whims.
The tally of lives lost in the Israel-Palestine conflict continues to soar, each tick a grim reminder of Balfour's pledge. As the skies of Gaza bleed, one ponders, how many more lives will be forfeited at the altar of a century-old colonial promise?
