Funny Quote of The Day: From the BBC “Israel under renewed Hamas Attack.”
Funny Quote of the Day Two: Iranian representative to Iraqi Kurdistan “The Kurds should not RUSH to declare independence.”
It’s Elementary Deduction:
In a famous Sherlock Holmes short story, Silver Blaze, Holmes got the key to the murder in this dialog:
Scotland Yard detective: Is there any other point to which you would wish to draw my attention?
Holmes: To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time.
Gregory: The dog did nothing in the night-time.
Holmes: That was the curious incident.
Holmes concluded that the murderer must have been known to the family, hence the watch dog recognized him and kept silent.
The “curious incident” in the latest saga from Iraq is obvious. Why didn’t President Obama send bombers to Iraq. He has the power. He clearly has the track record. He had to know that WMD (chemical weapons were within reach of the ISIL pirates). AND he was invited to step in by Iraq.
Why didn’t the aggressor in chief act?

Saker, it’s a shame you refuse to cover the ongoing Jewish-Israeli holocaust in Gaza. It has far greater relevance to events in Ukraine than those in Iraq.
The USA invaded both Afghanistan and Iraq in full partnership with Iran. This incredibly important fact is ignored by almost everyone who chooses to cover events in both these nations.
But, at the same time, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia were and are rock solid allies of the USA. Clearly, America’s game couldn’t have been more dirty right from the very beginning. Today, in Iraq, one bunch of American quislings are fighting another bunch of American quislings, and neither bunch (of course) interfere with any of the Americans there who control all Iraq’s major industries.
And we’ve all seen the new map of the Middle East, drawn up long before the invasions, creating ‘Greater Israel’ and ‘Greater Saudi Arabia’. Talking about current events on the ground in Iraq, as if they matter, marks one as a complete, naive idiot.
Gaza, on the other hand, teaches Russians about the coming fate of Novorussia. Novorussia, after Putin’s ‘peace’ efforts, will be a new Gaza- mock independent but wholly under the control of Kiev.
Periodically, the neo-Nazis will generate some excuse to attack Novorussia, and will, just as the Jews of Israel do in Gaza, exterminate every significant person of power or influence. The neo-Nazis will use massive amounts of drone strikes, and missile strikes, subjecting a future Novorussia to a week long blitz every 18 months or so.
After thousands have been murdered, and billions of dollars of damage done to Novorussia infrastructure, Russia will broker a ‘cease fire’ between the neo-Nazis and Novorussia- just as the West will do with Gaza after the Jews of Israel have had long enough to finish their current holocaust.
18 months later, Novorussia will suffer this all over again. And 18 months later again, and then 18 months later again.
Novorussia will be the new Gaza. Putin’s covert support for Novorussia, and the willingness of Russia to provide some assistance to Novorussia refugees will be as useless as this form of help has proven to the Palestinian people.
The West DARES any nation to help the Palestinians in any meaningful way, and howls with laughter as Humans the world over watch sickened as the Jews of Israel Holocaust these Humans over and over again. The West is making it clear, by placing Putin on his knees, and beating Russians with ever more vicious sanctions, that Russia’s relationship with Novorussia is no different than the relationship between Palestine and other Muslim nations.
And the monsters of the West howl with laughter even louder at fools who attempt to divine ‘meaning’ in the events happening in Iraq. The West’s manufactured battlefields are engines of recruitment for ever more conflicts across the planet.
Ancient Rome would cause tribes of the same ethnic group to fight one another (Germans against Germans, Gauls against Gauls, Britons against Britons), dividing and conquering, creating Roman vassal states, and providing for endless recruits to the Roman armies. Too many people watching world events cannot see the wood for the trees. Zoom out even a little, and the real game becomes all too apparent.
Doing things the ‘Roman’ way only ever benefited the Romans, as Putin is going to find out to his cost.

@Anonymous:Saker, it’s a shame you refuse to cover the ongoing Jewish-Israeli holocaust in Gaza
I let your comment through just to show everybody else why I am so sick and tired of your type of infantile, self-centered, preadolescent Jew-haters who use the puny half-neuron God has given them to bark up every tree that does not look like an image of yourself. Dude, I AM FRIGGIN TOO BUSY TO COVER IT ALL. Try to get that through your retarded swastika-saturated brain. Instead of pointing fingers, you could have simply offered to do what Mindfriendo does and post a DAILY SITREP ON PALESTINE . But no, you come with your stupid accusations, and a arrogant sense of entitlement. Who the fuck do you think you are to tell me what to do anyway? I am the one blogger who posted *all* the speeches of Hassan Nasrallah for years and who covered Palestine on a daily basis before two things happened: 1) the Palestinians betrayed THEMSELVES and sided with the CIA against Assad and 2) all hell broke lose first in Syria and then in the Ukraine. So, having only a 24 hour long day, I *had to* prioritize. But, please, feel free to post the URL to your blog which, I am sure, has world-class minute coverage of the massacres in Palestine.
Right?
Hardly. You probably spend more time goose-stepping around your room and trying to find out if your neighbors have 0.001% of Jewish blood then trying to actually DO something for Palestine.
Man, I am so sicked and tired of useless arrogant trolls I can barely put it in words!
(taking a deep breath, thinking “felt good to finally let go and tell them what I think about them”, thinking “LOL, talk about an excess in emotions!”, thinking, “I am turning into troll-bait again”. taking another deep breath. smiling and thinking “so what – I will just not post their shit anymore, let them choke on their own hatred”…)
Here is the good news: as soon as this blog moves to its new platform in Iceland (we are working on it!) I will have two friends helping me with moderation. I will explain all the details before this blog moves (give us a couple of weeks to iron out the inevitable technical kinks here and there).
Ok, “anonymous”, in case my irate screed above was in any way ambiguous, just go away and never come back.
To all others, sorry for that outburst of rage, but when you spend every drop of energy you have in fighting the AngloZionist Empire to hear the sort of bullshit this guy posted is simply infuriating to the extreme.
I promise, from now on I will try to behave :-)
Cheers,
The Saker
PS: IMPORTANT – I am officially making a standing offer to anybody willing to write daily/weekly updates about Palestine or about any other place on earth where the people are resisting the Empire. If YOU want to help, just let me know and I will gladly help. In fact, starting next week we are going to have a weekly SITREP about Boko Haram and Nigeria, something which is barely covered out there. I would be *especially grateful* for any coverage of Hezbollah in Lebanon and Islamic Jihad in Palestine.
@Saker 18:17, 10-July-2014
I almost fainted laughing (5 minutes straight) at your following APPROPRIATE mental reaction to the Anonymous Troll with the “Swastika-saturated brain” (Appropriate because it was positive, de-stressing and energizing for you):
“(taking a deep breath, thinking “felt good to finally let go and tell them what I think about them”, thinking “LOL, talk about an excess in emotions!”, thinking, “I am turning into troll-bait again”. taking another deep breath. smiling and thinking “so what – I will just not post their shit anymore, let them choke on their own hatred”…)”
Literally ROFL till I saw stars.
That was beautiful prose, I still can’t type straight
God Bless You.
“1) the Palestinians betrayed THEMSELVES and sided with the CIA against Assad”
A drowning man will grab at straws. The poor Palestinians have a habit/history of poor decision making. And I can’t blame them, everything must seem so bleak and hopeless. The newest solution might seem like something that will help only to be let down again. And the Arabs instead of helping them, are busy killing each other. Once again they must swallow their left over pride and realign their loyalties and face insurmountable odds, against a calculating enemy, and by relying on corrupt leadership. Screwed from the moment “GO.”
Mindfriedo
Sorry Mindfriedo, but I’ve got to agree with Saker on this.
While individual Palestinians, the common men & women and children, are poor and innocent, Palestinian society and attitudes are terrible: they never miss an opportunity to stab themselves in the back nor any country that’s tried to help them.
They’ve betrayed every power that hosted them and tried to help them: 1st Jordan, then Lebanon, (I won’t include Kuwait for obvious reasons), now finally Syria. It’s impossible to not notice, that when the chips were down, and Assad’s government looked like it might be brought down, the Palestinian ‘leadership’ (both those Nihilists Hamas and the those thieves in the PA) didn’t hesitate to plant a knife in all of Syria’s back (the ONLY regional power that openly supported them and didn’t sell them out). The Palestinian “intelligentsia” (I use the term lightly having had the misfortune of witnessing their counter-productive political machinations during commercial endeavors) have got to grow up and stop being so arrogant and so full of themselves.
Note the following regarding Hamas (a creepy branch of the Muslim Brotherhood):
“Instead of trying to curb Gaza’s Islamists from the outset, says Mr. Cohen, Israel for years tolerated and, in some cases, encouraged them as a counterweight to the secular nationalists of the Palestine Liberation Organization and its dominant faction, Yasser Arafat’s Fatah. Israel cooperated with a crippled, half-blind cleric named Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, even as he was laying the foundations for what would become Hamas. Sheikh Yassin continues to inspire militants today; during the recent war in Gaza, Hamas fighters confronted Israeli troops with “Yassins,” primitive rocket-propelled grenades named in honor of the cleric.” – Wall Street Journal
If the Wall Street Journal can admit something like that, can you imagine how much worse the truth about Hamas actually is?
My attitude mirrors Saker’s on this topic: Priorities!
—> if I have to focus my spare time on something it’s going to be on Ukraine, Iraq, Russia, India, China, the Syria-Iran-the-NeoPersian alliance, ie. things that are global in scale. I’m am not going to fall for the Neocon/Khaleej-Regimes/MSM trap of being distracted by a concoct conflict (one that suit’s both Hamas’ and the extremists in Israel’s purposes) when conflicts with serious geopolitical impacts are occurring. Far more people are dying and have died in Ukraine, Syria and Iraq than in Palestine, those are the hard facts.
Btw thank you for a great Sitrep.
Thank you for posting a link to our research wiki A Closer Look On Syria. Despite the name we also have some research on Ukraine, most notably on the Maidan massacre.
Our small team started off three years ago on Adam Larson’s blog The Libyan Civil War: Critical Views. Our finished material is published as reports (PDF downloads) on the Citizens’ Investigation into War Crimes in Libya site. We hope to have the final word out on the Battle for the Houla Massacre in a few days.
The West DARES any nation to help the Palestinians in any meaningful way, and howls with laughter as Humans the world over watch sickened as the Jews of Israel Holocaust these Humans over and over again.

As an average observer of military affairs and politics with a basic knowledge of 20th century history, what I see is Novorussia winning, day after day. The UA army has not had one single success to date.
In Russia, Putin has turned to the power of the people and asked the Russian people to decide and act on their own. Putin’s brilliance is undeniable.
One by one, countries, corporations, individuals around the world are starting to refuse to interact with the US. America itself is in chaos, it will dissolve into a guerilla war state. There is no way to organize for what is coming.
Dear Saker – I am not in a position to offer you any kind of regular report on Palestine but because of @Anonymous I send a quote that made me as an observer for many years burst into a rant that is I suggest special to the media-informed observer, no other. I hope you will allow it in here:”If people reflexively and instinctively laid the blame for the continuous litany of war crimes at the feet of the US/Zionists where it deserves to be no one’s feelings/egos would be hurt and – gasp! – we might actually start saving people’s fucking lives.” Ofcourse one may question why Hamas are giving the Israelis the excuse to commit these war crimes but the utter despair and horror you and I feel cannot possibly compare with that of the Palestinian victim each of whom have experienced for over sixty years every day every season all the time thousands of random acts of violence and now the serious and criminal use of superior military force crushing peace, destroying normal life utterly utterly. There surely cannot be a moment for rational thought or developed resilience in thousands of households. And how do these people without water or regular good food live their fractured cruel lives at the mercy at root from innocence of a tyranny they cannot be responsible for and did not create, while the international laws that forbid this are utterly utterly ignored by all national governments of the world, Is there going to be a movement in history by the conscience of mankind, if we have such a shared resource, that brings the Israel government to the Law Courts? The EU of which we are now a colony refuses to cooperate when thousands of appeals for justice have been made. What event can possibly change this . – we have seen the worst possible events, we know all too well of the constant criminal life that presently floats over and penetrates the entire Middle East – because these Middle East Arabs and Muslims are the victims of insane military acts by far distant western countries who want valuable natural resources……….. does our voice fade away dear friends? What can we do? We cry for the action of International Law because money does not alter the matter. The International Law that Putin, from maligned Russia, was absolutely careful to use and abide by in Ukraine and Crimea , the Law that has been caste aside by both the EU and America and UK. Caste aside dear friends, law that was set up to aid us from the seemingly impervious acts of financial war and military barbarism. We can hardly release our own feelings because we have never been re-assured by either parent or education that feelings have true meanings and have to be carefully explained and respected as were the originators of International Law who differed not one wit from you and I.

Sorry I sent twice.
Mindfriedo, I have appreciated some of your earlier posts on Iraq because they showed a relative unbiased picture of what is happening there. This last post seems to be mostly Iraqi Government propaganda including the requisite body counts which only the losing side uses. I don’t think I saw a mention of the Islamic State fighters taking part of a military base outside Baghdad and holding it. Even these Iraqi News reports often have a local observer’s comment that usually completely deny the Government claims.
The big news from this conflict is that there appears to be some kind of alliance or negotiations between the Islamic State and the Kurds which may come to light after their independence vote.
BTW IS fighters lobbed mortar rounds at the shrine in Samarra a few days ago and Maliki has stopped airfreight flights to the Kurds.

“Sorry Mindfriedo, but I’ve got to agree with Saker on this.”
I didn’t see any strong disagreement between Mindfriedo & Saker on the Palestinians, are you trying to cause conflict between them?
“Note the following regarding Hamas (a creepy branch of the Muslim Brotherhood)”
“Creepy”? That derogatory terminology literally sounds like what one finds in Israeli propaganda.
вот так
Bok tak, please don’t make a paranoid anti-semitic ass of yourself by accusing me of being Israeli – I am not.
Nobody is above criticism, that includes the Palestinians and their shitty leadership. Unlike YOU I’ve actually lived in that region. The comments and facts I laid out are reflective of comments I heard from average Palestinians during my years living in that region. It is their common realistic assessment that they as a people have been horribly led and misled by their corrupt and self serving ‘leadership’ as well as being used by those “crocodile tears” khaleej (gulf arab) regimes who use the Palestinian people’s misfortune to distract their own populations while doing almost zero to help them (the palestinians) in a substantive way. In addition, most arab regimes treat palestinians as persona non-grata, denying them official status and discriminating against them (even considering muslim palestinians “kuffars” -as a class- because, culturally, they are more liberal; i.e. they are not wahabi and exhibit a serious respect for women).
A common complaint amongst palestinians is that their society is characterized by back-biting and playing politics even on the individual level – something I’ve witnessed many times. You have to witness it to understand how self-destructive, counter-productive and sickening it is (my palestinian friends chafe at it and are the primary victims of that societal setup).
As for your misplaced sympathy for HAMAS, have you ever met a member of HAMAS? If you ever do, you’ll likely be sized up for a kidnapping or worse, like I almost was (just for being a “kuffar” – this despite the fact that I helped arab orphans in the region and that I had no connection to Israel of any kind). Why don’t you ask a Christian Palestinian how much they fear Hamas? These guys are fascists cut from the same type of cloth as those idiot fanatic Galicians. In fact, given their MB connections they may share a common genesis with the Galicians of Western Ukraine. “Creepy” was the gentlest term I could use to describe this outfit. Remember these guys actively supported An-Nusra and the FSA in Syria. These experiences and complications have made me neutral when it comes to the Palestinian movement – I don’t deny it. Neutrality does not make me a purveyor or propaganda.
As for my agreeing with Saker that Ukraine, Iraq, Syria take greater priority, I stand by what I say; more people are dying in those conflicts and they have greater impact to the globe than the Hamas-Likud “distraction-thru-controlled-chaos” freakshow. You should ask yourself, whenever the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is deliberately exploded and then given wall to wall coverage by the MSM what are they trying to distract you from? Much larger scale massacres in Ukraine, Iraq, Syria, or elsewhere? A banking scandal in the West, or a corruption scandal in the US?
@Wayoutwest
Sorry you feel that way. I cram everything I can find into them. One thing I did miss today was Barzani deciding to boycott Sunday’s session. I’ll be adding that today. I don’t omit any news on Iraq, don’t nit pick at all. if you have links for anything I missed, ill add it.
As for body count, I always put it as “Atta’s Government” claims. But today’s body count was from a Kurdish news source which was also on an Iraqi Government one. Atta gives daily briefings on Iraqi TV.
“The big news from this conflict is that there appears to be some kind of alliance or negotiations between the Islamic State and the Kurds which may come to light after their independence vote.”
That conclusion would be more pro government than anything I have posted, since it would corroborate what Maliki has been saying. And it would be contrary to Daash lobbing 3000 mortar rounds on Kurdish villages across the border in Syria. But civil wars are very fluid, and alliances can align and realign. So friends this side of Sykes-Picot, and enemies on the other.

Dearest Brother вот так,
The Israeli Anglo-Zionist Hasbara is at the highest it can be. Like you, if I haven’t known both Saker and Mindfriedo, I would have fallen for divide and rule strategy.
The Evil Power of Whisper (Hasbara) is at the greatest and satan is spreading His Kingdom.
The Dubya wanted Democracy in Palestine. The Palestinians picked Hamas, but that kind of Democracy neither suited satan nor Dubya. Thus, each and every Palestinians was marginalized through Hamas. Gaza become a Prison For Masses.
God Plans and satan plans, but God is the best of the Planner.
Best regards,
Mohamed.
Dear Slicer,
In Islam the Only Power given to “The Accuser” is the “Evil Power of Whisper”.
And, I am pretty sure that you know what I mean when I say, “The Accuser”. If not for the “Evil Power of Whisper”, a good reading is “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion”.
But alas, if there is “Evil Whisper” than there is “Good Whisper” too. The sound of “Good Whisper” is very faint, but when you add all the masses in the world, it then becomes very strong and potent.
BTW, do you know who Yassin is? It is a sample chapter in the Holy Quran, and it hangs almost in every Muslim house.
Yassin was created as a “Mercy” to all mankind, and to the whole worlds.
And, worlds is a plural and not singular.
God to show Mercy on each and every soul and Guide us to the Straight Path.
Mohamed.
Mohammed, the love and gentle persuasion in your posts is something I sincerely respect (and it works).
Kind regards,
Slicer
“Jocelyn Braddell said…

Dearest sister,
Keep on spreading the “Good Power of Whisper”, and never be sorry for it.
To counter the “Evil Power of Whisper”, one of the potent armaments we have is the “Mighty Power of Pen”.
God Plans and satan plans, but who is the Best of the Planner!
Blessed are the Peace Makers,
Mohamed.
Vot, Why wasn’t it “creepy” of Hamas to take up arms against the Palestinians’ main supporters?
Thank you Bob. Nicely said.
Mr saker, I am getting more and more optimistic about Novorossia, even though I don´t really understand everything.
About Gaza: Disillusioned with Hamas: what is the purpose of barraging the thinly populated area north of the border with toy rockets, only to invite a massacre? (Very stark contrast with the resistance of Novorossia! and Hezbollah!)
But the Israeli over reaction made me think again: very consistent with the talmud doctrine, of course.
They hated Arafat, so they gave him some polonium. Result: Hamas in power.
So now they hate Hamas, kill a thousand Palestinians, and perhaps(?) weaken it.
I am sure that right now, a few thousand muslim teenagers in Europe are making travel plans, after seeing the images.
So their new, created, opponent might be ISIS, coming from Jordan. A zioburger, anyone?
Is this scenario realistic? Can it be possible that the IDF military has overlooked this in their war simulations?
Or is it a planned part of a bigger plan?
@Mindfriedo: “The big news from this conflict is that there appears to be some kind of alliance or negotiations between the Islamic State and the Kurds which may come to light after their independence vote.”

An important thing here is that while Barzani and cohorts are very fine with Israel and Turkey and capitalism in general, domesticated, the political leadership of the Syrian Kurds are like the PKK followers of Öcalan, whose ideology many in “the West” could smear as “commie”. They would hurt the project of future Kurdistan on the maps we have seen if that kind of autonomy isn’t broken.
@slicer
“As for my agreeing with Saker that Ukraine, Iraq, Syria take greater priority, I stand by what I say; more people are dying in those conflicts and they have greater impact to the globe than the Hamas-Likud “distraction-thru-controlled-chaos” freakshow.”
I agree with Saker as well about the Palestinians screwing themselves, but I understand not having hope and clutching at straws.
However, I’m not so sure about it being just about how many lives are lost to make a conflict relevant. I’m sure neither do you. It should be the principle involved. Palestine is in ways a fulcrum or focal point of the confrontation between the Anglo-Zionist empire and the resistance. The conflicts in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, and yes in an indirect way the Ukraine are linked or originate here.
So on one hand you have injustice supported by the Governments in the West and it’s power and money blind Arab friends and on the other you have those fighting it.
As for Bot Tak and him calling people “Israelis” is I guess his way of psyching people to see if they really are hasbara. He does not mean offence.
I don’t think anybody here is a fan of Hamas or Shaikh Yasin. I saw a mural of him in a wheel chair in Tehran, but even religious Iranians were sceptical of him and his beliefs.
“that I helped arab orphans in the region”
In this month, Ramadan, if we ascribe a lie to the Quran or Mohammad(sawa) then our fast breaks(nullified). But we can quote with a reference or stipulate where we heard something. So I’m pointing out two things I learnt, but can’t reference.
Two things I was taught in the mosque about orphans, the first was that the prayer of an orphan is something God always listens to/answers. So the next time you help one, ask for them to remember you in their prayers. And the second was that if a man passes his hand over the head of an orphan in sympathy than either those many sins are forgiven or those many blessings are bestowed as the strands of hair on his head. Screw the Arabs, your reward is with God.

“Bok tak, please don’t make a paranoid anti-semitic ass of yourself by accusing me of being Israeli – I am not.”
I did not claim you were Israeli. :D
I wrote your use of “creepy” in the context you did reminded me of Israeli propaganda. Big difference. Most people using Israeli propaganda, and therefore believing it at at least a subconscious level, are not Israelis, they are people who read/heard the stuff from what they thought were legit sources, and are just repeating what they were told. This is true of many people who are not pro-Israeli or pro-zionist.
For example, most people indoctrinated with an anti-Muslim/Arab prejudice don’t realise the source of their indoctrination is mainly from zionist psychological propaganda specifically designed to cause hatred towards Muslims and Arabs.
“Unlike YOU I’ve actually lived in that region.”
How would you know such a thing?
“As for your misplaced sympathy for HAMAS”
Another projection. My sympathy for Hamas took wing after they betrayed Syria. But that is regarding the current leadership and that leadership’s lockstep supporters. My sympathy is for the Palestinian people, who as Mindfriedo pointed out, have probably been put through so much grief and betrayal, that they are very vulnerable to manipulation of their hope.

“I’m sure neither do you. It should be the principle involved. Palestine is in ways a fulcrum or focal point of the confrontation between the Anglo-Zionist empire and the resistance. The conflicts in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, and yes in an indirect way the Ukraine are linked or originate here.”
I think so, as well. And thanks.
