On December 7, the Palestinian al-Nasser Salah al-Deen Brigades fired several rockets at the Israeli settlements of Hof Ashkelon and Sha’ar HaNegev north of the Gaza Strip. The group said in a statement that this was only the first response to the US decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and said that more actions will follow. The Israeli Defense Forces said that a battle tank and a warplane had targeted two posts in Gaza in response to the shelling.
According to local sources, Israeli warplanes are highly active over Gaza as the situation escalates.
Earlier, Politburo Chief of the Palestinian Hams movement Ismail Haniyeh called for an uprising against Israel. He said that December 8 “should be a day of rage and the beginning of a major effort to rise up, which I will name the intifada of Jerusalem and the West Bank’s freedom.”
“As we liberated Gaza, we are able… to free Jerusalem and the West Bank by the way of this popular struggle,” he added.
Haniyeh emphasized that the US decision amounted to a “war declaration against Palestinians” that “killed” the Israel-Palestinian peace process.
Meanwhile, tensions between Palestinians and Israeli forces have been reported in multiple areas. The situation is heading towards a dangerous level of escalation.
In Syria, Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (formelry Jabhat al-Nusra, the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda) and its allies repelled an attack from the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and the National Defense Forces (NDF) on the village of al-Shakusiyah in northeastern Hama. Militants allegedly destroyed a SAA battle tank on Rabdah Hill with an ATGM.
Meanwhile in southern Aleppo, west of Khanasser, the SAA destroyed 3 HTS vehicles and killed 10 members of the terrorist group.
ISIS resumed its operations in northeastern Hama and entered the villages of Abu Ajwah, Muylah Ben Hadib, Shihat al-Hamra and Qasr bin Wardan which had been controlled by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham.
According to pro-government sources, the Syrian Tiger Forces will soon be redeployed to northeastern Hama and southern Aleppo after they have finished their tasks in eastern Syria following the liberation of the entire western bank of the Euphrates from ISIS.

‘Reporters Without Scruples’ fails to derail revelatory conference on White Helmets
https://www.rt.com/op-edge/412462-white-helmets-reporters-without-borders/
“Following unprecedented demands for censorship and attempted suppression of press freedom at the Geneva Press Club, the speakers and organizers of the ‘White Helmets – True Agenda’ event got police protection during the conference on the 28th November.
The Geneva Press Club (GPC) announced an event that would present the darker side of the Oscar-winning, multi-million-dollar internationally funded White Helmets, operating in Syria alongside Jabhat al-Nusra (Al-Nusra Front) and other US Coalition-armed & financed terrorist groups.
The event promised to give a platform to diverging views on the role of the White Helmets, rarely explored by corporate media in the West who unreservedly promote this hybrid group of self-anointed humanitarians.
The event was entitled “They Don’t Care About Us – White Helmets True Agenda.”
Following the announcement of the event, Gérard Tschopp and Christiane Dubois of RSF wrote to Guy Mettan, the head of the Geneva Press Club (GPC) accusing the author and Prof Marcello Ferrada de Noli, chairman of Swedish Doctors for Human Rights, and another speaker from Swedish Doctors for Human Rights, of being Russian “agents.” My legitimacy as a journalist was questioned on the basis that I have not written for any “soi-disant” independent media (meaning MSM), but my name is cited over 200 times in the Russian media such as RT and Sputnik. A mortal sin by RSF standards who claim to uphold the Voltaire principles of my right to air my findings even if they challenge the corporate media status quo.
Tschopp and Dubois informed Mettan that the event would bring disrepute to the GPC and would force them to reconsider their membership. The event should be canceled according to these ‘defenders’ of freedom of speech.
Mettan described this unprecedented attack as “stupefying” and pointed out:
“I have never seen anything like it. An organization defending press freedom is telling me to censor a conference. This kind of pressure to cancel press conferences usually comes only from countries known to be dictators, such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt or Bahrain. This is the first time such a demand has come from a democratic country and an organization defending the freedom of the press! It goes without saying, I will not be following up. That would be an insult to the profession of journalism.”
Mettan courageously refused to bow to such pressure and stood his ground against this attack on press freedom in Switzerland, the popularly perceived cradle of neutrality. He upheld the principles that have been the bedrock of the GPC press freedom philosophy by inviting organizations supporting the White Helmets to attend the conference or to organize their own event at a later date. No response was forthcoming from the various PR agencies that manage the White Helmet publicity campaigns.
Instead, Syria Campaign went on the offensive in lockstep with RSF. Syria Campaign was established with seed-funding from the Syrian oil baron, Ayman Asfari, residing in the UK and known to be funding the UK Conservative party. Since the establishment of the White Helmets in 2013, Syria Campaign has mainly been responsible for the numerous advertising campaigns that promote and effectively whitewash the questionable affiliations and activities of the so-called “first responders” in Syria.”
So why this predatory mind guarding against these organizations? Why this group-think exclusion policy regarding any criticism of the White Helmets? This organization is funded by taxpayer contributions from a number of EU & Gulf states, the UK & the US, and they should be held accountable if there is evidence of ethical breaches or violations of human rights during their operations as an integral component of the “regime change” alliance operating in Syria.
Who are RSF and why are they attempting to silence independent analysis of the White Helmets that deviates dramatically from the image portrayed of them by their fawning media and PR entourage? Much has been documented of RSF’s role as mockingbird media, funded by organizations, such as USAID and NED (National Endowment for Democracy) whose sole purpose is to expand US interests globally.
From Cuba to Venezuela & beyond, RSF has been at the coal face of CIA violent coup attempts and aggressive US military interventions.”
You see how everything has been going in the wrong direction, and a lot of it is the fault of us British, and how still Peace in Palestine and sensible energy policy, based on fundamental physics,maths and chemistry is pivotal to the future of the human race…
This is a reply to an ex moderator who is a friend of Craig Murray. He still doesn’t get 9/11, but I can forgive him for that, and him seriously banning me several years ago on multiple occasions, cos he didn’t like my views.
My wife and I walked past Imperial College tonight to see Robert Plant (ex Led Zeppelin) at The Royal Albert Hall. First time in 30 years.
Imperial College, is by far The Best University in The World to Study Physics.
Oxford and Cambridge ain’t got a clue – They are Religious based. They believe it will work on Faith and Bullshit.

Tony, Craig is pro-eu, so I disagreed with him on that.
And why do you forgive someone for still not knowing what really happened about 911? It can only be wilfull ignorance and therefore stupidity, even bordering on complicity in some cases.
Sounds like a false flag provocation. Typical perfunctory (& harmless) provocation to “justify” a grossly disproportionate “response.”

@USAFCENT: Russian/Syrian aircraft crossed deconfliction line into coalition airspace east of the Euphrates River 6-8 times a day in late November, “the greatest concern is that we could shoot down a Russian aircraft because its actions are seen as a threat” to coalition forces.
https://syria.liveuamap.com/en/2017/9-december-usafcent–russiansyrian-aircraft-crossed-deconfliction
Reminder:
There is no ‘deconfliction line’ and there is no ‘coalition airspace east of the Euphrates’ outside the hallucinations of Zion.
Here’s what I recently wrote on the topic for The Duran:
“The Olympics aren’t neutral, just like the UN isn’t, nor the Nobel Peace Prize and especially not the US’ role in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, though saying otherwise had hitherto been seen as “politically incorrect” and therefore supposedly suitable grounds for condemnation by anyone who was triggered through their cognitive dissonance as a result.
No one should feel guilty or apologize for the severe indignation that they’re expressing against the US or Trump because of the IOC and Jerusalem decisions, but part of the reason for their fury might also have to do with their own disillusionment after finally having their wishful thinking debunked in the most sobering and incontrovertible way possible.”
https://theduran.com/the-olympics-and-jerusalem-disillusionment-confirmed/
Modern Olympics is a western created “cultural” event.
Mainly hosting western codified sports.
Just as the UN is a western brain child.
In a world still dominated by western power and culture.
Politically exploiting the Olympics seems only natural.
But also an obvious sign of hostility, weakness and idiocy.
As you do not impose your soft power by throwing out somone. You would better be inclusive to digest opposition.
Trump decision concerning Jerusalem is IMHO good news.
It ends decades of plausible deniability policy for all parties.
False Palestinian opposition show their true face as profitering patsy.
Western vassal muslim countries show their lack of historical self respect.
The US shows the true support of western hemisphere to the zionist project.
European Countries show their two faced approach and sick political cowardice. (Germany giving nuclear submarine to Israel but does not support moving the capital to Jerusalem… what a farce is that ?)
Trump IMHO is taking a courageous and principled position (good or not is not the point) and pays true political tribute to this historical conflict as it should.
Juste like Israel leaders or Iranian leaders have principled position of their own.
Not like so many so called leader who would rather kick the can down the road.
This question deserves better.
Better than the so called Arab countries and European leaders playing it like compulsive liars, cheap quiblers or short sighted opportunists.
An interesting and important point raised by Amir Oren on RT’s news today. He pointed out that even during the biblical times there were 2 different kingdoms
a) Judah &
b) Israel
Jerusalem was in Judah (not the Kingdom of Israel) which is no longer with us. I found this link to a map:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bd/Kingdoms_of_Israel_and_Judah_map_830.svg
So this misinformation being constantly pushed that Jerusalem was the capital of the Kingdom of Israel is debatable.
Veritas. Verily, J was the capital of ancient Judah and not of ancient Israel. But again verily, J is the capital of modern Israel: it is where where the government sits, and where we send our taxes. By recognizing this fact Trump is simply being realistic; also showing that, when it comes to something really important like a business deal, Trump is a man of his word: he promised to do so in return for $25M campaign funding from a friend of NatanYahoo, and he has kept his promise. Likewise the PM of Israel honoured this deal: in return for Trump’s promise the Yahoo was the only world leader who got off the Clinton band wagon and supported the Donald’s election campaign. This is all open and above board, no need to make such a fuss.
The really important question is: now that NATZO and its terrorist proxies have been checked in the ME, will the Christian nations of the EUSA continue to support the Anglo-Zio-Capitalists in expanding the Apart-hate state and expropriating hydrocarbon resources; demonizing and destabilizing Muslim countries; and driving Christians out of the Holy Land? Or are they going to follow the wiser course of Christian Russia, and join with secular Syria in protecting all faiths in the ME, respecting the multi faith character of the Holy Land, which is sacred to billions of Christians, more than a billion Muslims and only 15 million Jews? Whoever owns this land, Jerusalem will continue to be its capital; the question is, how long can it continue to be owned by only one faith – a faith which represents only 0.4% of the People of the Book? Ancient history of the Jews versus the Jebusites is no longer the issue: we have to create a stable multi polar, multi faith world – and wholeness of the Holy Land, sacred to two very large “religions of peace”, will be an essential for the stability of that multi faith world.
I see schlomo dropped off some of the usual israeloamerican spam. The following is a more accurate reporting.
Russian MoD Reports Incident With US F-22 Fighter Over Syria’s Euphates River
https://sputniknews.com/military/201712091059853377-russia-us-army-syria/
“The Russian Defense Ministry has called the presence of the US air force in Syria illegal.
“An American F-22 fighter actively prevented the Russian pair of Su-25 attack aircraft from carrying out a combat mission to destroy the Daesh stronghold in the suburbs of the city of Mayadin in the airspace over the western bank of the Euphrates River on November 23. The F-22 aircraft fired off heat flares and released brake shields with permanent maneuvering, imitating an air battle,” Major-General Igor Konashenkov, the Russian Defense Ministry’s spokesperson said on Saturday.
The Defense Ministry has commented on the US claims regarding Syria’s airspace, explaining that the majority of near-misses between US and Russian planes in Syria and in the area of the Euphrates were connected with the Washington’s attempts to hinder Daesh’s defeat.
“The statements of the US Army representatives that a part of the Syrian airspace belongs to the US is puzzling,” Konashenkov stated, reminding the Pentagon that “Syria is a sovereign state and a member of the United Nations, therefore, the United States does not own any part of sky.”
At the same time, he noted that “after the appearance of a Russian multifunctional super maneuverable Su-35S fighter, the American fighter stopped dangerous maneuvers and hurried to move into Iraqi airspace.”
At the same time, he noted that “after the appearance of a Russian multifunctional super maneuverable Su-35S fighter, the American fighter stopped dangerous maneuvers and hurried to move into Iraqi airspace.”
The ministry’s representative has also noted that the US has failed to give any answer to the Russian command at the Khmeimim airbase in Syria “concerning this and many other incidents in the Syrian sky,” the general added.”
This is the usual zio-gay tactics. Use aircraft and other means to try and interfere with Syrian ops against the israeloamerican daesh proxies and claim that is the Syrians/Russians engaging in the provocations against “coalition forces”.
This incident shows how the pindo military gays operate at an individual level in detail. The f-22 was sent to provoke the 2 Su-25 ground attack aircraft because it is expected an f-22 would be able to shoot down a ground attack aircraft no problem, should the Su pilots respond. It would have been a supreme irony and humiliation has the f-22 been downed by the Su-25s, the pilots genuinely thinking they were about to be attacked and deciding to take no chances.
The israeloamerican ruse was exposed when the Su-35 arrived, an aircraft superior to a f-22 in dogfighting*, which the f-22 is not designed for. This is why the pindo pilot tucked his tail between his legs and bagged it pronto. He was not prepared to be a sacrifice to zionazi geostrategy and the zio-gays at command.
*The f-22 was designed for long range interception. They launch aa missiles at long range, then retreat, never coming into close or visual range. This is why the design concentrated on being stealthy (hard to detect with radar) and paid only scant attention to manueverability factors. Later, after the design was in late development, the americans realised they could copy the Russians and add thrust vectoring to give the plane some belatedly realised much needed dogfighting capability.
The actions of the pindo f-22 pilot show the degraded level of american military personnel in a very stark light. The phrase greedy & petty chickenshit describes the sort of offal now making up the american military. These are not warriors, they are indoctrinated children who are flim-flammed into thinking they are invincible and above all recourse from those they commit crimes against. Petty mafioso foot soldiers for hire.
Back in the 1980s the usn rebuilt, at rediculous cost, several WW2 battleships, a typically pindo gay response to the Russians commissioning the Kirov class. According to a friend, then recently ex-usn and still in contact with the usn sailor “scuttlebutt”, the first of those rebuilt battleships was crewed with what was considered by raygun regime the best of the usn.
Within a very short time of assignment of these best of the best navy personnel to this prestige assignment, he said one week, everybody wrote everybody up. In navy parlance, what he was talking about was that these best of the best were subjecting each other to what is in effect costume oops and minor behaviour pecadillos, literally the bitching of insecure dress up queens.
This decline, started in the raygun regime, has continued to gather steam, and now we see what the u.s. miltary has become. A bunch of bottom rung moral degenerates proud to be marks for israeli interests. A soulless and clueless force of bum bandits who think their complete lack of humanity is patriotism.
American military “courage” in all its transgendered glory!
The real question is whether Capt. Top Gun had to change his panties upon fleeing Syrian airspace in his F-22 after being chased away by the Russian fighters.
