According to Hezbollah, around 55 Israeli soldiers have been killed in clashes since the start of the invasion last month, while more than 500 have been wounded.

They also claim to have destroyed 20 Merkava tanks, four military bulldozers and two drones.

“According to the Resistance leadership, the operations room announces the move to a new phase of escalation in the confrontation,” which will become clearer in the coming days, he added.

Halting US arms shipments to Israel, not killing Sinwar, will lead to Gaza ceasefire: Analyst

Phyllis Bennis, a fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies and international adviser to Jewish Voice for Peace, told Al Jazeera the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar will not lead to a ceasefire in Gaza.

“There has been a path to a ceasefire all along and it has to start with the US ending its shipment of arms that enables the war to continue,” Bennis told Al Jazeera.

“I don’t think that there is going to be any change if Blinken goes to the region or if Biden calls Netanyahu. None of that really matters. Their words don’t matter if their actions don’t change and if the actions continue to be sending Israel all of the weapons that they require to enable this war, this genocide to continue,” Bennis said.

“There is no reason in the world that they should see the death of one more Hamas leader – this time Yahya Sinwar – as a change. The war has been against the entire population of Gaza not against one man,” she said.

The first actual evidence of North Korean troops being present in Russia has just been released, with a video showing soliders speaking what sounds like Korean, and getting outfitted with Russian military gear likely in the far east of Russia, near the border with the DPRK. I wonder what will happen with these troops, are they in Russia just for military drills, or will they be deployed to the front lines.

I think if they do end up on the front lines (which seems more likely as time passes), it is a negative signal for stability in the Korean peninsula, and shows that the DPRK are preparing for war and want battlefield experience in a modern conflict. This would likely be in response to the military escalation by the ROK, who unveiled the gigantic bunker buster Hyunmoo-5 IRBM, a missile the weight and size of an ICBM, but with a range of only 3000km, while simultaneously flying drones over Pyongyang this month. The message is clear. This is a first strike weapon designed to take out the leadership of the DPRK in a decapitation strike, and the ROK can track them with surveillance drones.

The DPRK's reaction to this massive escalation in the media has been to deny the effectiveness of this weapon and call it useless, but to me the actions taken by the DPRK in response (stating that reunification is not possible, blowing up roads connecting to the ROK, artillery on high alert) show that they think the opposite with regards to this escalation. If North Korean troops end up fighting in Kursk or Ukraine, it would be one further sign that the DPRK are preparing for war and improving their combat readiness.

DPRK promises to retaliate against ROK for having a drone violate DPRK airspace. DRPK usually ends a press statement like "if ROK/US continues, we will retaliate" or like "we're warning you, please don't do this again". This press statement is different in that the conclusion is a direct promise. The tone is changed. "The provocateurs will have to pay a dear price."

Press Statement of Kim Yo Jong, Vice Department Director of C.C., WPK

Pyongyang, October 15 (KCNA) -- Kim Yo Jong, vice department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, issued the following press statement on Tuesday:

We secured clear evidence that the ROK military gangsters are the main culprit of the hostile provocation of violating the sovereignty of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea by intruding into the sky over its capital city.

The provocateurs will have to pay a dear price. -0-

(cw: immolation) "Israel" is turning northern Gaza into a killing cage | Drop Site News

I kneel before Sinwar, the entire resistance seen him fight to the last moment along his men.

And indeed Israel's bank of low-risk high-award targets is shrinking, they will eventually reach a point where all the targets are Iranian.

Two days ago there was an interview with a high-ranking former IRGC official who was part of committee responsible for acquiring, building and modernizing weapons. He said:

No country is empty-handed. We have equipment that is far superior to nuclear bombs. The request of honorable parliamentarians to change the nuclear doctrine is right, but they do not know some matters, because not everyone knows these matters. These information are confidential, completely confidential. We can't reveal many things and the day may not be known. But if one day a direct war happens or the Americans enter directly, then they can and will understand. I will just point out and give a hint; when Trump wanted to reduce our oil exports to zero, some tactical operations happened.

I don't want to say who did it. But five oil tankers exploded in the port of Fujairah. What exploded? If it was in the sea, a torpedo would have hit them or gunboats, unknown boats or drones would have hit them. But they were hit in Fujairah port, which is almost the most secure port. They don't even know where they were hit. Two oil tankers were also attacked in the Oman Sea, when the Prime Minister of Japan came to Iran as Trump's envoy. By the way, both tankers were Japanese.

Israel asking for another THAAD. Theres only like 7 around when I checked https://www.eurasiantimes.com/thaad-israel-requests-for-2nd-thaad-ad-system/?amp#:~:text=The%20US%20has%207%20batteries,8%20batteries%20in%20the%20future.

America, uk, germany and israel are evil countries, without single shred of humanity in the whole government and military.

It took Israel over a year since Oct 7th to kill Sinwar within a tiny strip of land ~~requiring intelligence from all the western countries.~~

Just compare the two

Since it's been one year on since the Gaza War started, I decided to look at some defense stocks to see how profitable the genocide machine has actually been. Overall, it seems pretty profitable for the companies with relevant weapons and supplies for the war at this stage, but if I was a vampire capitalist and just threw my money into defense as soon as I thought war demand was coming I'd be pretty disappointed at the outcome so far. One year in NVIDIA outperforms all of them by a ton, and the S&P 500 keeps pace in the middle of the pack.

• Raytheon (+70.05% 1 YR) is the best performer by far. It makes sense since the Iron Dome missiles are made by them. They are making a whole new facility in Arkansas for the purpose of making more of these things that won't be online until 2025, apparently. Whose to say whether the entity known as Israel will even last that long but hey, that just means money in Raytheon's pockets.

• Caterpillar (+47.03% 1 YR) a construction company that makes bulldozers for the IOF, so it's part of the genocide machine obvs. Recently they've been downgraded by Morgan Stanley so we'll see if this keeps up.

• L3Harris Technologies (+39.97% 1 YR) military helicopters and aircraft electronics. Great year for them, Oct 7 represents the bottom of a 2 year losing streak for them.

• Lockheed Martin (+38.14% 1 YR) has a sudden jolt right around the time the US authorized the production of more F-35s. It also happens to be the week where Netanyahu visited the US Congress. Below I have a photo of other companies that have a little jolt around that time as well.

• General Dynamics (+23.92% 1 YR) naval and communications. The stock seems to have been doing well before Oct 7 though so IDK.

And some losers...

• Boeing (-19.49% 1 YR) you know why. But you could have sold when the news was still breaking and done well for yourself.

• Elbit Systems (-0.56% 1 YR) they make drones and they made the Gaza wall defense towers that got owned on Oct 7. Israel doesn't care for defending its citizens right now because genocide but they seem to be pivoting towards the genocide business judging by the swing towards profitability recently.

Democrats suspect Netanyahu attempting to tilt Trump-Harris race.

Democrats increasingly suspect Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is trying to interfere in U.S. domestic politics by ignoring President Biden’s calls to negotiate a peace deal in Gaza and by confronting Hezbollah and Iran weeks before the U.S. election.

The fate of the free world lies in the hands of the these fucking people. Most important election of our lifetime. Not impressed? Well guess who else is on board: Dick Cheney!

This had to be kayfabe, right? How could they not know this from the start? Can they actually be this guillible?

Where is Punxsutawney Phil when you need him? Instead of these grotesque media campaigns, each swing state should just have 50/50 pagan ritual involving cute critters to decide the electoral winner.

In Ecuador, the country is in flames and without electricity, while the president was in the US on a yacht, dancing with his wife and other rich people.

According to Telegram resistance may have just drone striked Bibi's house, tons of cops there and media has been shut out, it's not clear if he was home tho

This is the 1488th comment in this thread ugh

According to israhell pm office he wasn't home :( But it doesn't matter. We only have to be lucky once.

In my petty podcaster parasocial disgust news:

know your enemy are such lib cowards, dissent affiliation is truly mark of a shitlib

ooh we've changed after equivocating war on iraq, boohoo, eat shit, leiffer simps.

Bit idea: Tell the libs in your life that you agree with them that the Ukraine war has to end and that "it is possible that Russia has made mistakes". Tell them you support a two-state solution that guarantees Russian security.

Apparently the IOF cut off Sinwar's index finger, ostensibly "to check his identity". There's a video, but I'm not gonna link it.

First off, isn't that considered desecration of a corpse and therefore a war crime?

Second, isn't that also kind of a religious hate crime? Raising the index finger has significance in Islam, no? (I am not Muslim, please fact check me)

So if Sinwar was killed in a strike on Gaza, does that mean the talking point of Hamas' leaders hiding in Qatar is complete hasbara?

Germany reportedly asked Israel to sign a 'genocide clause'

On 13 October 2024, German newspaper BILD reported in an exclusive (behind a paywall) that Germany asked the Israeli government to sign a so-called ‘genocide clause’ as a precondition for further arms deliveries. This clause apparently contained a written assurance from the Israeli government that German arms will not be used to commit genocide. The document is said to have arrived in Berlin on 10 October and allowed Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz to declare in parliament the next day that "We have supplied arms, and we will supply arms".

This raises several questions:

1. Does this imply that the German Government shares in the suspicion that Israel is committing genocide in the Gaza Strip?

2. Can such an assurance absolve Germany from its responsibility under international law not to aid or assist acts of genocide?

Update on Cuba's Energy Crisis:

According to official information, the restoration process of electrical system has already begun in western Cuba CTE Santa Cruz has started up and work is being done to link CTE Mariel Energás is in service and a load level is being served in Havana and Mayabeque.

In the Central zone the microsystem remains stable. CTE Guiteras is in the process of starting up. CTE Nuevitas is in the process of starting up, feeding off the Camagüey microsystem. CTE Felton and CTE Renté are further behind due to problems in the 110KV busbar at Renté.

CTE de Cienfuegos is unavailable due to a breakdown. 370 MW served in the country. There are microsystems in almost the entire country, except Artemisa. Unlike other outages, explained Lazaro Guerra, there was now less availability of fuel. This situation will gradually recover.

Oxfam condemns in the strongest terms the killing in Gaza today of four water engineers and workers from the Khuzaa municipality who were working with our strategic partner the Coastal Municipalities Water Utility (CMWU).

The four men were killed on their way to conduct repairs to water infrastructure in Khuzaa, east of Khan Younis. Despite prior coordination with Israeli authorities their clearly-marked vehicle was bombed. Oxfam stands in solidarity with the CMWU, their partners and the families of the victims. 

This is like the world central kitchen strike the Israelis did
