Interwiew of Sayed Hashem Safi al-Din, Head of the Executive Office of Hezbollah, May 11, 2021.
This interview was to be devoted exclusively to martyr Sayed Mustafa Badr al-Din “Zulfiqar”, Hezbollah commander killed in Syria on May 13, 2016, but the developments in Gaza were evoked at the beginning and end of the interview. We only translate these excerpts. Sayed Hashem Safi al-Din is a likely successor to Hassan Nasrallah.

Journalist: […] Before getting to the heart of the matter, we must talk about what is happening in Palestine, especially since the Palestinian cause was very important to Sayed Zulfiqar. How does Hezbollah see the violent Israeli escalation against Palestinians in Al-Quds (Jerusalem) and Gaza? What are the challenges & horizons of this escalation, and why is it happening now?
Sayed Safi al-Din: In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Let me first congratulate Muslims on the last days of the month of Ramadan, and for Eid al-Fitr, which will be celebrated in a day or two. I ask God the Most High to make these occasions a blessing for our Ummah (worldwide Muslim community), for the Resistance fighters and for the combatants. I have special thoughts for the families of the martyrs, the family of Sayed Badr al-Din, his daughters, his sons, his parents and his brothers, as well as all his loved ones, and all the families of the martyrs. I ask God the Most High to fill them with blessings in these days.
I must also extend sincere and strong greetings, from the bottom of my heart, to the soul and spirit of the Mujaheedin in Palestine, to the (Palestinian) people of Al-Quds (Jerusalem), to its men, women, young people, children, and the young people of Gaza, to all the heroic fighters of all the Palestinian (Resistance) factions. We salute them with respect and thank them for everything they do during these days and hours, in these very minutes. They defend the honor of the entire Ummah. Al-Quds represents the honor of the whole Muslim Community, the dignity of the whole Muslim Community.
What is happening in Palestine today is a sign of the end of a stage, and the start of a new stage (of the Arab-Israeli conflict). We have witnessed, in recent years, some examples of Israeli and American arrogance and hubris, and examples of the servility, betrayal and humiliation (of Arab rulers) who have vilely crept in the direction of normalization (of their relations with Israel). Some thought this was the last Act to be played, but we told them it was not the end, because the Muslim community is bigger and stronger than that. The Ummah in which there are so many Resistants, martyrs and leaders such as Sayed Mustafa Badr al-Din, for whom Palestine was in the eyes, in the heart and in all his existence… We said that this Muslim Community concealed many blessings, strength, capacity and greatness, and that it was capable of shaping (itself) the future.
The events of Al-Quds occurred, with the events that followed, until the use of rockets yesterday and today, by the hundreds, a veritable storm of rockets which shook the Zionist entity in order to say (two things): first, to tell the Israelis that the Resistance was much stronger than they imagined; and second, to tell the Zionists and Americans as well and all the normalizers, cowards and traitors (of the Arab-Muslim world) that the Palestinian people was much stronger, and that he would never abandon Palestine or Al-Quds.
These upheavals happening today will open new doors, create a new reality. A reality fraught with (huge) consequences, namely new equations. The equation of victories, the equation of the near Liberation (of Palestine territories) with the grace of God the Most High. These are equations that are based on the sacrifices of recent years. In recent years, there have been many sacrifices on the part of the Palestinian people, the Resistance, the Resistance Axis, in all directions and on all fronts and battlefields. All of these sacrifices resulted in what we see today, some of the scenes we see today. And what is yet to come is greater, much greater with the grace of God the Most High. […]
Journalist: To come back to what is happening in Palestine, what did Al-Quds and Palestine represent in the eyes of Sayed Zulfiqar? What emotional and jihadist ties linked him to the Palestinian cause?
Sayed Safi al-Din: Palestine represents jihad, and his first connection to it is (through) weapons, guns and bullets. He began his journey as a fighter in the ranks of the Palestinian Resistance (during the Fedayeen era in Lebanon). He has (strong) links, experiences, relationships, participation (with them). After that, his experience within Hezbollah was mainly focused on Al-Quds and Palestine. It’s no secret, it’s the truth. He also belongs to this culture. As far as he was concerned, Palestine was the compass, the central cause, the ultimate goal and hope. Al-Quds was for him the place where we had to make all the sacrifices to reach the stage of its Liberation, because by liberating Al-Quds (Jerusalem), we will not only liberate the holy places, but we will recover all the honor and all the dignity that have been stolen from us in all the past decades. As far as we are concerned, Al-Quds is everything we live for. And in these days (of war in Gaza), we feel more than ever the presence of such figures as Sayed Zulfiqar, Hajj Imad Moghniyeh, and the great leader Hajj Qassem Soleimani: in the end, (even if) they have found martyrdom in Syria, in Iraq or anywhere else, their essential cause, their greatest hope, what their whole being tended towards was to bring the Muslim world from one point to another, until it reaches Al-Quds and can finally liberate the Holy City.
And today, yes, as we have heard in some comments, those rockets that have been launched (against Israel) are the hope of Hajj Qassem Soleimani. They carry the hope of Hajj Imad (Moghniyeh). They carry the fiery aspiration of Sayed Zulfiqar. They carry all these (pure) souls. It is these souls who have acted and made all efforts relentlessly, (taking all the risks and) making all the sacrifices to ensure that this ballistic capability reaches the hands of the Resistance in Gaza. And thank God, today, these capabilities arrived in Gaza! These abilities grow and develop. The first credit goes to the Palestinian fighters there, of course, whatever their faction, but those who acted, supported and allowed all this, are these martyrs, these (Iranian and Lebanese) leaders, including Sayed Zulfiqar, who worked day and night for the Resistance inside Palestine to obtain great capacities, and even colossal capacities.
Journalist: So Sayed Mustapha Badr al-Din helped transfer skills and support to Resistance factions inside occupied Palestine?
Sayed Safi al-Din: He did more than contribute! He acted constantly (for the Palestinian Resistance)!
Journalist: What did this action consist of?
Sayed Safi al-Din: Transfering the experience, training, maintaining contact with all the resistant Palestinian forces, helping them to obtain the capacities and skills in all the fields, whether it has to do with obtaing weapons, the ability to manufacture them, their handling and use, all these abilities. Generally speaking, Hezbollah has played a big role in this regard, and we are very proud of it. It is our duty anyway. All of our commanders participated in that. This is neither a secret nor a shame, on the contrary, it is a matter of pride!
Journalist: Eminent Sayed, how important is the equation imposed by the Palestinian Resistance in linking the fate of Jerusalem to that of Gaza? How will this equation affect rules of engagement and the balance of power in the future?
Sayed Safi al-Din: If you remember correctly, this Gaza which just drowned the Israelis (under a deluge of rockets), the enemy considered that all Gaza could do was struggle its way through the various calamities in which it had been abandoned, struggling to cope with the problems created by the occupier and the United States, whether by the siege, pressures, (crippling) policies, etc., and therefore Israel considered it had nothing to fear from them. I am not going to recall all these well-known elements, which are part of History. But today, this Gaza is not only taking back its life, its future and everything it has in Palestine and Al-Quds, no! The very soul of Gaza now arises in Al-Quds! The soul of the Resistance that the occupier wanted to crush and suffocate in Gaza is present today in Al-Quds, in the West Bank, and will rise tomorrow in all the territories occupied in 1948 and throughout Israel!
The most important consequence of what is happening today is that the Palestinian cause is revived everywhere, at all levels, with all its weapons, all its fighters, all its rockets/missiles, all over (historical) Palestine! And that’s just the beginning!
All we hear about peace talks on the right track is illusory#Hamas‘ claims for #AlQuds, #AlAqsa & #SheikhJarrah are DEAD serious
Israel is unable to understand that the dislocation of Palestine into ≠ entities is over. Gaza stands for all Palestinians & the reverse is true
— Le Cri des Peuples (@lecridespeuples) May 14, 2021
Israel wanted to neutralize Gaza, through massacres and destruction, and then to neutralize a whole part of the (occupied) West Bank, through the separation wall. You have seen how the Separation Wall is built in a sinuous and even vicious way, with areas off-limits to Palestinians (making life impossible for them). Israel considered the territories conquered in 1948 to be safe, and part of the “historic Israeli entity” forever. The Arabs could forget (the territories of) 1948, they were irremediably absorbed! Forget Gaza, which is out of the game! (That’s what Israel thought). There were still a few besieged places in the West Bank, whether in Hebron or elsewhere. But the reality is that today, all of historic Palestine is set ablaze and embracing the Resistance! Today all of Palestine is resisting! All of Palestine is Al-Quds! This city of Al-Quds (Jerusalem) that they wanted to erase from the Palestinian cause, making forget even its (Arabic) name and its memory, whether through the Deal of the Century, the displacement of the American Embassy (from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem), and all these campaigns (to liquidate the Palestinian cause), the humiliating visits of some cowardly and enslaved Arab (regimes), unfortunately, the promises of establishing normal relations, etc. But (despite all this), Al-Quds today shines. She shines through her martyrs, she shines through the martyrs of Gaza. These Israelis today are killing children, women and men who die because they defend Al-Quds! These martyrs make Al-Quds even more resplendent, and give it even greater value in the minds of Palestinians, in the minds of Arabs and in the minds of (all) Muslims (worldwide).
What happens today will have very big, even grandiose consequences, as I told you before. Of course, now is the time for battle, not for analysis, now is the time for battle. It will be time to draw all the conclusions afterwards. In this time of battle, our common duty is to stand with the Palestinian people. We salute these efforts, these sacrifices, we salute these heroes, men, women and children, who went yesterday at dawn to the holy mosque of Al-Aqsa to enter and assert their right to be present there, at Sheikh Jarrah district, at the Damascus gate, everywhere, at every point (from where the settlers and police were trying to drive them out); we salute these men, these women, these young people, these children, all those who sacrifice themselves. We salute the fighters who, as I said, restore honor to the Ummah. We send them a thousand greetings, and with the grace of God, the whole Muslim world will be with them, the whole Arab world will be with them.
… perpetrate another Holocaust or anything like that. But if you insist on perpetuating the occupation, then I assure you that the Day of the Great War in this region, whatever triggers it, is coming (fast). That day is close on which we will all pray in Al-Quds (Jerusalem).”
— Le Cri des Peuples (@lecridespeuples) May 14, 2021
What is happening today is (the triumph of) the truth. The truth of our (Arab-Muslim) world is visible to everyone. Our Ummah is (deeply) steeped in Resistance, its inner core is Resistance. Its history, its culture, its identity are the Resistance! Such are our peoples, such is our (Arab-Muslim) Community. There may be, in this or that country, economic, political, or any other kind of problems, we can say that the Arab world is drowned in the so-called Arab Spring, whether in Egypt, in Tunisia, Syria, Iraq or anywhere else, but despite all their efforts to present these realities as preponderant to exhaust the peoples of our region, today, Palestine, Al-Quds and Gaza are reviving all these elements of strength present within our Community. And our Ummah declares to the United States, Israel and all the cowards that no, it is stronger than that, greater than that, and able to shape her future. And that’s exactly what she’ll do.
We are talking about realities and equations today, not empty slogans or hopes, not at all. As I told you at the beginning, what happened in Syria was no small thing, and what happened in Iraq was no small thing, at the level of the action of Resistance (reference to the victory against ISIS). And what is happening in Palestine now is no small thing. What happened in Yemen is no small thing. This victorious resistance of the Resistance Axis, among other consequences clearly visible today, brings the peoples of the Muslim world, little by little, to join this Resistance Axis, until it becomes the dominant choice and priority for our entire region.
See Nasrallah explains why Qassem Soleimani is unique and how he defeated ISIS in Iraq
And today I can say categorically and without any hesitation that yesterday and today, we had glaring proof of Trump’s failure when he targeted Hajj Qassem Soleimani, may God be pleased with him. The Al-Quds Force (Revolution Guards Corps, led by Soleimani), which spearheaded this Axis of Resistance, is now achieving very great victories. Of course, it is the Palestinian people who achieve these victories (in occupied Palestine), but at the level of vision and (common) cause, what happens there is one of the consequences of the work of the Hajj Qassem. And with the grace of God, what will come in the next battles will be even greater.
Journalist: Can you tell us, given your close proximity to Palestinian Resistance factions, to what extent we can say that Gaza still holds surprises and secret cards in its hands, which it can use if the confrontation extends?
Sayed Safi al-Din: It’s up to them to talk about this. The Palestinian Resistance, through its fighting and resistant factions, is capable of expressing itself, whether through declarations, through missiles, through actions, when it sees fit. This is their exclusive right, and we do not have to interfere with it. But what I know (and can say) in general is that the capacities of the Resistance in Palestine are very great, in terms of time (they can keep pace for weeks and months), capacities, weapons, the ability to fight (victoriously), etc. Their capacities are great, much more than what Israel can imagine.
Journalist: I am told in my earphone that Ben-Gurion Airport has just been targeted. What does this indicate? Is it a strong symbol?
Sayed Safi al-Din: To strike Tel Aviv is a very important thing, a remarkable qualitative development in terms of acts of Resistance. The same goes for the attack on Ben Gurion Airport. This is all due to the grace of God and the blessings that come with standing up for Al-Quds. The fact that Gaza has come into action in defense of Al-Quds brings great (divine) blessings. When the Islamic Community decides to defend Al-Quds, God pours out (huge) opportunities and benefits upon them.
Of course, all of this cannot happen without sacrifices. Whenever in a battle, the Islamic Resistance achieves great achievements, we must always remember that these exploits happen thanks to the grace of the blood of martyrs, the efforts of the fighters, the sacrifices, the patience and the endurance displayed by the Resistance, whether in Palestine, Lebanon or any other place.

For so many years of my life I have had some hope that Israel would one day not be able to continue their sadistic war crimes against the Palestinians. Yet, no matter what, nothing ever seems to turn anything into their favour. Always the suffering and righteous movements to counter these crimes and yet, in the end it is bombed into ruins while the rest of the world could not care less.
What can actually be done? The black propaganda about the WWII camps seem to still be accepted without any proper study about what really happened (apart from the few excellent scholars such as Germar Rudolf and Carlo Mattogno et.al. who actually did the work to show what vile black propaganda it was that made people allow Israel to be a complete criminal nation while the rest believed the lies of those days to remain the constant excuse for them to oppress and kill.
Do not despair !
As long as there are people who stand up for the truth and for justice, the battle with the Zionist entity will continue until it is no more.
Most of us Muslims on this planet teach our children that we must and will liberate Jerusalem from these evil Zionists Occupiers and some day we will freely pray in Jerusalem. In good time, justice, truth and peace will return to the Holy Lands where people will once again worship and live in harmony.
Until then, expect a lot of oppression, injustice and evil from these foreign occupiers.
Never give up hope of Allah’s Soothing Mercy: truly, no one despairs of Allah’s Soothing Mercy except those who have no faith. (Quran, 12:87)
Say, “O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.” (Quran, 39:53)
Allah never changes the condition of a people until they change themselves. (Quran 13:11)
O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm for Allah , witnesses in justice, and do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness. And fear Allah ; indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what you do. (Quran 5:8)
And never think that Allah is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. He only delays them for a Day when eyes will stare [in horror]. (Quran 14:42).
In the waning days of the AngloZionist Empire the rest of the world holds its collective breath. All the conquest, domination, and exploitation that the Empire has foisted on indigenous peoples for the past 500 years may be finally coming to an end. Or, if US Christian Zionists have their way, the planet will be made uninhabitable by nuclear war. Their end-times eschatology requires a cataclysmic apocalyptic conflict where all the world’s armies will descend on Tel Megiddo to fight the “Big One.”
Pastor John Hagee, Trump’s “spiritual” advisor and founder of Christians United for Israel, gave the following sermon when Trump moved the US embassy to Jerusalem, “Jerusalem is the preordained capital of Christ’s 1,000-year empire, during which Christians and Jews (at least some of them) shall live in peace, after the unsaved (Democrats, mostly) have endured seven years of unspeakable horrors.”
It is the task before all the adults in the room to prevent this coming Gotterdammerung. Thankfully, the US Constitution specifically prohibits the imposition of this death cult’s crazy agenda. Zionists will have to do an end-run around the First Amendment to get that war they crave, unless as PNAC predicted in 1998, there just happens to be another “catastrophic and catalyzing event, like a new Pearl Harbor” to force the issue… again! May Heaven save us all from the wrath of the born-agains and the chosenites.
No international flights. No oil tankers docking. Gas exports halted. Stock market crashed. And over a hundred million dollars of infrastructure damage, plus untold cost of tamir interceptor missiles.
This is the price of a hundred or so dead Palestinians for the Zionist regime.
Emboldened and heartened by the remarkable success of Hamas, Palestinians all across the occupied territories appear to be gearing up for a rebellion, or civil war.
Among the endless salvo of rocket fire from Gaza today, seven Badr-3 rockets were launched towards West Jerusalem, 60km away from Gaza. One was intercepted, the other six found their targets.
Iraqi PMUs have been amassing in Iraq today for what appears to be protests.
There are also reports of three missiles fired towards Israel from Syria, yesterday.
The Knesset was holding a session yesterday, which was abruptly ended due to rockets landing nearby. Zionist MPs had to be evacuated from the building.
And Tel Aviv is under constant rocket fire, day and night. As is Sderot, Ashkelon, and other Zionist settlements. Normal life in Israel has come to a complete halt. Trains aren’t running on schedule anywhere. Schools, sports matches, etc., are suspended until further notice. Meanwhile, Zionist healthcare facilities are seeing a huge influx of patients reporting psychological trauma due to fear and terror.
The Eilat-Ashkelon oil pipeline has been struck, with a massive fire ensuing at an oil storage facility. Off-shore gas platforms have also been struck.
The Zionist city of Beersheba has been without electricity for a couple of days now, after rockets struck the main power station of the city.
There is much more that can be said, but the picture that is emerging is one of total and utter defeat for the Zionist regime, with nothing to show for its aggression except a few dead Palestinians and some piles of rubble in Gaza.
Hamas has made its list of demands clear, and has stated that fighting will continue until Israel meets those demands, which include free and unrestricted prayer in al-Aqsa mosque, no evictions in Sheikh Jarrah or anywhere else, etc.
Meanwhile, the Zionist regime and the western media report a completely skewed version of events, to keep Israeli morale from plummeting.
Ominously, there’s always the Samson Option. Describing this suicidal death wish , the Israeli poet Itamar Yaoz-Kest wrote, “And yet, there is a right reserved only to us Jews (if indeed any human on Earth has this right): to be destroyed and to take the weary and sated world with us into non-existence, along with its wondrous libraries and heart-stirring tunes – just so, after we descend to the grave, while the ground emits radioactive rays to all four winds…”
We shall see if Russia, China and Iran will let that happen, if such a day comes.
These nukes are already in place in Israeli embassies all around the planet.
… and how do you know that?
It was through the Israeli Embassy in New York City that they smuggled the mini-nukes that were used in the 9/11 demolitions, according to the secret report by the DOE and Sandia National Labs shortly after the attack. Israeli military historian, Martin van Creveld, also spilled the beans about it in 2003.
So Tommy; Mini nukes on 911? How come no reports of radiation fallout? What do you make of that? How could they possibly hide the after effects. Any clarity?
Mod: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffnt&q=9%2F11+radiation&atb=v155-1&ia=web
According to the Sandia National Labs investigation, specialized nuclear devices designed by a team at Los Alamos National Laboratories left little or no residual radiation, especially because “millions of gallons of water were poured onto ground zero to cool the massive underground fires caused by melted steel mixed with liquefied granite in the form of magma, which persisted until January 2002.” It was absolutely not the result of burning jet fuel (kerosene) as the “official” narrative claims.
This report was leaked to Russian intelligence by Edward Snowden and our illustrious MSM has been doing everything it could to suppress it for close to twenty years now.
You’re naive to think that none of the other countries wouldn’t do anything till the Zionists plant bombs im their embassies 😏
Wow! –in that case I raise a toast to the total and complete failure of this option–and may the people who want this to happen exist long enough to witness its total and complete failure.
Tommy, be clear. The Samson option is dead in the water.
What do you think MI6, CIA, FSB and all the western intelligence services would have done by now after decades of being aware of this potential nuclear threat?
They would certainly have infiltrated and put in place neutralising measures to ensure this option cannot be exercised.
Even if only one of the world’s intelligence services was aware of it and had done the intelligence work to identify the risks it’s sure that they would not allow the jews to proceed with such a plan.
The so called “Samson Option” is very likely already no longer an option.
Also, israel is controlled by World Jewry, not the other way around. Do you think the global jewish community would allow some lunatics in a tiny zionist settler state to trigger a second holocaust? For when it is known that the jews were the ones who unleashed a nuclear attack on the world, the result will be Shoah 2.0.
So the global jewish community itself will ensure such an option has been neutralised. They can lose israel, but they cannot risk the global extinction of the jews.
The long term observer might see that “World Jewry” is actually used by the Zionist talmudists at every opportunity in much the same way as a cat puffs up its fur to make itself seem bigger than it actually is.
World Jewry” has been trained from birth to respond as required by the cults requirement that they abide by the never ending cascade of laws and rituals. The evidence is the public protests by “world jewry” about Israeli murder of palestinians that never take place, while their repreentatives lobby governments to support Israel.
The people running the Zionist, Talmudic scam are pyschopathic scumbags who shoot defenseless noncombatants with impunity , and regard the rest of humanity as less than livestock. Nothing, absoolutely nothing, is beneath them.
God Almighty chose the Jews previously to be HIS representatives on Earth…in other words uphold Divine Justice that was laid out in the original, uncorrupted Torah …which we also believe in. But through the ages the Jews twisted the laws in their favour and against the other people wherever they lived. For example, charging interest on loans was forbidden universally, so they don’t charge interest amongst themselves but charge non-Jews. So God Almighty chose other people to be Muslims (those who submit to the commandments of God Almighty). So Muslims now have to sacrifice again (first time being the advent of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of God Almighty be upon him) and four Rightly-Guided Caliphs, Abu Bakr, Omar, Uthman and Ali (may God Almighty be pleased with their efforts)…with Imam Al Mehdi who will be appointed by God Almighty to establish Divine Laws of Universal Justice over the entire Earth, whether we like it or not…prior to return of God Almighty’s Announced Servant, Prophet Jesus (peace and blessings of God Almighty be upon him and his blessed Mother, Mary), who will also rule over the entire world based on Islamic Divine, Universal Laws one last time from Jerusalem before the destruction of Earth on Judgement Day. So we are witnessing the events of the last age when falsehood, which has reigned over the earth for a hundred years, be effaced and replaced by Truth, Divine and Universal Justice. So glad tidings to the oppressed peoples of the Earth…events are in motion now before the return of Prophet Jesus, peace and blessings of God Almighty be upon him and his blessed Mother, Mary, Amen).
Why are the Checks flying the Israeli flag over Prague Castle in support of the murders in Gaza? This is totally incomprehensible

The Austrians too.
Probably Holocaust guilt syndrome.

Probably they have a great Jewish lobby….
As a logistician who has much experience with Israels system I know their Achilles Heel. They embody the JIT, Just In Time strategy for commodities. They do not have the strategic reserves of essentials required to operate their civil infrastructure for even 24 hours. Those commodities arrive just in time for use so that they dont have to maintain their own logistics and warehousing which they have little space for. They are one of the least sustainable cultures in the ME. Which IMO, seems to be in keeping with their philosophy. Everything is provided for the special people. So although the ineffectual rocket barrage does not do much direct damage, it does completely disable all non Israeli logistics in the country. All international carriers Force Mejeur clauses require them to avoid anywhere there are hostilities. Right now cargo ships with these essentials are all setting well offshore, waiting. All airlines are holding Israeli cargos at transhipment points, creating logistics jams. Much of the cargo is perishable and these HUGE expenses will have to be paid for with ZioNazi funds in order that their essential supply lines will exist in the future. Every minute of this situation creates a huge burden. And if this situation can be maintained for a few more days, the entire country will be on its knees. And that posture is totally out of context with the Zionist dream. It is not necessary to destroy Israels infrastructure to make it inoperable.
That is the best news that I’ve heard in a long time.
Such are the consequences of focusing on getting the best deal without understanding the real costs of that deal in the future. It is the curse of talmudic judaism throughout its long and dreary history. If only they could get over their narrcisistic delusion that everyone else owes them a living because they are “gods chosen people”. All based on some scratchings a con-man made on a few random slabs of rock.
If history teaches anything at all it teaches that talmudic judaism is a cult devoid of any ability to learn that the rest of humanity has a limit to the amount of the endless power seeking, lying and manipulation it will tolerate from the cult. That power seeking, lying, and manipulation is at the core of every interaction with the rest of humanity.
What we are witnessing is humanities latest response to the latest iteration of talmudic judaism’s narcissism.
I have heard that the Italian dockworkers union has refused to allow a shipment of weapons to proceed to israel recently, stating that they are unwilling to participate in the killing of Palestinians.
I’m wondering about the effect of a week’s break in supplies to the Iron Dome and other systems.
I go crazy everytime Amazon is late with my plastic knick nacks , I can only imagine how the IDF will feel …
https://tass.com/world/1290013
“At least 2,300 missiles have been fired at Israeli cities from the Gaza Strip since May 10, about 1,000 of them have been intercepted by the Iron Dome Air Defense System, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Saturday.”
That means 1300 rockets have arrived.
Iron Dome by most accounts in these last few days of battle have seen a 15% success rate, hence in reality, if 2300 missiles were fired, only 345 were intercepted at most.
As has been the case for many decades the cause of the Palestinians is and will continue to be doomed for the immediate future as long as the Empire (“the West”) remains commited to the Jwish supremacist state of Israel. I’ve followed this situation all my life and, if anything, the Capitol of the Empire is and will continue to be completely supportive of Israel. The population of Israel is, even more than it was, militantly committed to the notion that only Jews to the Zionist cult as is the case in the Empire’s media. Only the destruction of the Empire can result in improvement of the situation for Palestinians.
Hezbollah is just cheerleading here and its notion of Arab or even Muslim unity is utterly fantastical and impossible. Each country in the region is controlled through a variety of carrots and sticks by Imperial covert operatives except for Iran, Syria, and southern Lebanon. I see not even the slightest indication that can change.
You are right. The Islamic world like any religious world is riven by sectarianism but Jewish atrocities have been going on for so long that I think they will shed their differences aside and come together. If they do, it will be horrendous for the Jews of Israel.
I disagree never have we seen Israel hit to such an extent. The unified uprisings in Israel the West Bank and Gaza, missiles from Lebanon and Syria, Lebanese and Jordanians protesting at the border and breaching it. Israel relies on Jewish immigrants feeling safe, if they don’t feel safe they will leave, with Palestinians in all the territory making up a slight majority and these Iranian made weapons I think things have changed drastically, the myth of invincibility has shattered and it’s going to get worse. Additionally with rising inequality in Israel, many young Jews want to leave. Not sure about the end but there are drastic changes. It can no longer invade and hold territory militarily and ballistic missiles and suicide drones are a gamechanger in addition to all these Iran allied militias. These are very interesting times. As for Arab/Muslim unity when it comes to Palestine the vast majority are on the same page regardless of their leadership.
There are indications that Hezbollah is preparing to open a new war front against Israel from Lebanon
(Machine translation from original Portuguese article)
There are indications that the most successful anti-Zionist resistance group in the world, the brave and courageous Hezbollah, is preparing to open a new war front against Israel from Lebanon:
http://middleeastobserver.net/hamas-leader-we-hope-hezbollah-will-intervene-but-situation-is-complex/
https://www.moonofalabama.org/2021/05/escalation-in-palestine-hizbullah-is-ready-to-join-the-fight.html
https://southfront.org/gaza-conflict-spillover-israeli-army-struck-syrian-lebanese-border/
For now nothing is yet official and there is no way of knowing whether Hezbollah will actually actively enter the war against Israel, in support of Hamas and Islamic Jihad, which have been carrying out a ferocious and absolutely just fight against the Zionist state . If, in fact, Hezbollah comes into the war that is going on in Palestine, Israel will surely suffer as it has never suffered since the Yom Kippur War in 1973. Hezbollah’s military capabilities are far, far superior to those of the Palestinian resistance and its fighters are hardened by years of fighting against terrorism sponsored by the Anglo-American Empire in Syria. Hezbollah is not a “sweet pear” and has ballistic missiles, drones, hundreds of thousands of rockets of various types, cruise missiles, anti-tank missiles, anti-ship missiles, in short, a whole modern war arsenal, whatever properly used in combat, it will make Israel cry out in pain like never before.
The Islamic Republic of Iran knows that it was Israel that was behind the assassination of General Qasem Soleimani (may God keep and protect him!). Iran also knows that it is Israel that has carried out countless attacks against its nuclear program, has murdered Iranian scientists, has imposed sanctions on Iran through the American government, which is entirely in the hands of the Zionist lobby and has done everything it can to make it hellish life to the magnificent and noble people of Iran. It is therefore to be hoped that Iran has decided that the time has come to retaliate and has decided to retaliate directly against the “heart of the beast” by attacking the “crown jewel” of the Rothschild and New World Order, that is, the State of Israel.
For now, nothing is confirmed, but everything points to the fact that Hamas attack against the Zionist State is only the initial phase of a much broader and wide plan that has Iran and possibly even Russia and China in a role behind more discreet, but by no means less deadly. Truth be told, Putin and Xi Jinping know perfectly well that they are Zionists who are driving all policies hostile to Russia and China in the international concert of nations. Israel is directly responsible for the death of Russian military personnel in Syria and if there is one thing that everyone can take for granted, it is that the Russians never forget, and if necessary, they wait decades for revenge. Israel has its days numbered. The Rothschilds and the entire Zionist elite in the US and the EU are not even aware of what Iran, Russia and China are planning and thankfully they are not aware, as revenge is served cold and very cold …

Hezbollah is not going to “enter the war”. They will join the rocketing attacks first and foremost. They want the Israelis to come attack them. They are set, as in 2006, to fight a defensive ground war. They won’t be launching a ground offensive. They have no air cover to do that.
So, if they join the war at some point, it will be with tens of thousands of rockets.
Re: no air cover.
New Iranian combat drones are perfectly capable of supplying air cover.
I disagree. I read a post-2014 gaza war article that explained Hezbollah were preparing to enter the war then if they felt that Israel would “break” the resistance. This condition most probably still exists today. In fact, it is a most opportune time to enter the war as Israel is already unable to cope with a few hundred Gazan unguided missile barrages – thousands per minute using guided high fuel-air warheads could flatten Haifa and Tel Aviv in days
Wrong again – Nasrallah seldom Blusters or lies. He has said on more than a single occasion that in the next war (following 2006), there will be 1. Israeli refugees and 2. an invasion. Where are all the Shia diaspora PMU’s from the Syrian Battle – Zeinabiyoun and Fatimiyoun? – there are approximately 100k – 150k of these fighters milling around in Syria
Keep on dreaming no outside actor will help Palestine’s people with an open attack. That would lead to mushrooms in the sky.
There is a point at which it is certain they will join the war:
If it becomes obvious that Hamas is on the brink of extinction and that a massive ground occupation of Gaza is certain, then Hezbollah will have to intervene because losing Gaza will mean losing a major strategic ally in future wars with israel.
Up to now, the IDF always had to consider the possibility Hamas might get involved in a conflict between the IDF and Hezbollah, but without Hamas in the picture they will be able to concentrate all their forces and planning against Hezbollah.
Hamas is the “sword of damocles” Hezbollah needs to have always dangling over israel’s head.
“If it becomes obvious that Hamas is on the brink of extinction and that a massive ground occupation of Gaza is certain, then Hezbollah will have to intervene because losing Gaza will mean losing a major strategic ally in future wars with israel.” – 10000% Spot-On. Besides, now is an opportune time to continue building the momentum of a spiralling civil war + military onslaught
You’re behind the times. Outside actors have been helping Palestine for decades now.
Do keep up.
This current battle is simply a message from Gaza rsesistance’s (Hamas, Islamic Jihad) main patron and partner – “You are surrounded by Iranian missiles from without and within and there’s nothing you can do about it”
I would half that number, some would have landed in unimportant areas.
I wanted to comment that I’m American and I don’t understand all the different fighting forces that the Muslims have right now. But I wanted to let you know that many many Americans are tired of the Zionist control of our government, media and banking system and the moral degeneracy they impose on our culture.
As of a few minutes ago, a new round of rocket fire has been launched against the Zionist state.
Benny Gantz has issued a warning to Israeli towns and cities around Gaza to prepare for war in the following days.
As of this writing, there are reports of young Lebanese climbing over the Israel-Lebanon wall at four locations on the border, attempting to enter Israel.
Three Palestinians have been injured in violence with Israelis in the West Bank city of Qalqilya.
An Israeli military base at Nir Oz, East of Khan Yunis, has been struck with rockets.
Herzl street in Tel Aviv has been struck, as a special message to the Zionist regime.
Air raid sirens blaring all over the occupied territories.
Kazarians (so-called Jews) celebrate Shoa (Holocaust) as a great tragedy and Palestinians celebrate Nakba with same connotations.
In spite of claims by USA politicians about the right of Israel to defend itself and Hamas being a terrorist entity (I have heard to my dismay gov. De Santis echoing these absurdities), both are tragedies.
As salamu aleykum was rahmatuLlahi, subhana wa ta’ala.
Israel does not have the right to defend itself because Isreal does not have the right to exist. The Balfour declaration was and is colonial excess that would not be tolerated today by any nation not part of the Anglo-Zionist insanity.
Israel will be bled to death by a thousand cuts. There will be no red line to be crossed. One day, the frog will wake up and realize the water is awfully warm. The next day, the frog won’t wake up.
The old question. What is Jerusalem worth?

Now, as Western imperialism has reached its very terminal stage of decomposition expressed as manifest incompetence, greed, corruption, and evil, the determination and resolve of its enemies have reached a level where the end of the Zionist monstrosity in Palestine is actually within reach. Richard Boyd Barrett’s (People Before Profits) furious and just awesome speech earlier this week seems almost to have been based upon secret knowledge of what was to come. To hell with the Zionist State and its spinsors!
Tao teaches also, being human in an earth experience. Reality is multifaceted, e.g., systems created to practice “life”………… however, nature does not mandate other than to breathe an inhale, exhale, experiencing life in earth. Separation in being human is unnatural. The World Zionist Congress in essence appointed Louis Brandeis as a Supreme Court Justice, 1897 or thereabouts… Brandeis penned in the Federal Reserve (Fed), and Israel is THE recipient of infinite “money”. Bank of England, Rothschild Family, own the Fed. Cui Bono~ Who Benefits~~Cicero…Follow The Money… COVID “gain of function” all humans not in the money cult are also Palestine’s fate. Do we stand a chance vis-a-vis nuclear maniacle sub-species? Common sense isn’t very common. Fauci is a figurehead, as was Brandeis, one of Fauci’s “non-profits” was donor to Wuhan Lab in China.
Israel is the greatest number of vaccinated, via news reports. The apartheid is begone.
The Sheikh talks a good game but never launches any of his rockets. What is he waiting for? I do understand that the Zios would retaliate by carpet-bombing the cities and villages of Lebanon, but even making allowance for that, it seems to me that an opportunity of liquidating the Zionist entity is being missed.
Since it’s inception on May 14, 1948 the demonic entity has been accursed.
“So when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not” (let the reader understand), “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains”.
