November 3, 2023 Summary:

Hezbollah -> No

Hexbollah -> Yes

PFLP's take seems to be that all concessions and weakness signal to Israel a lack of opposition internationally, and this emboldens them to carry out their genocide. It is essential that absolutely concrete stances are taken with no weakness, anything less causes them to expand aggression by signalling that there are no repercussions for it.

Anything less than calling for ceasefire makes things worse and actively harms palestine.

🔴 Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine:

—

Aligning with the American plan is treason. No discussions or solutions before stopping the aggression.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine warns Arab and official Palestinian parties that participating in discussions of the American proposals for the future of Gaza fuels the American-zionist genocidal war against our people in Gaza.

There can be no talk of any political horizon as long as the aggression continues against our people. The illusions of the American and “israeli” enemies of being able to eliminate the resistance and place Gaza or any liberated inch of Palestine under the guardianship of hostile parties will be brought down by our people with the steadfastness of their resistance and their supportive stance.

The duty now is to adhere to a unified Palestinian and Arab position that rejects any political dialogue under aggression, affirms the refusal of the attack to uproot the Palestinian resistance, and rejects of the declared American goals of displacing the residents of Gaza and imposing the Deal of the Century by force of the war of extermination and with the cooperation of Arab and Palestinian parties.

The Front calls for the manifestation of a clear and unified Palestinian position that rejects these plans and confronts them politically and diplomatically, and contributes to protecting our people in the face of the war of extermination.

The Front also reiterates its warning to all parties that any concessions under the fire of aggression will contribute to feeding the appetite of the forces of aggression to expand the war of extermination against our people and increase its severity.

Our people, with their resistance, unity, and steadfastness across the Palestinian territories, will bring down the American plan and snatch their victory from the jaws and claws of the forces of aggression. Any bet on the aggression will be a net loss for its owners.

white people MLK speech

The source for Blinkens story about the Israeli family who was tortured by hamas, and then the fighters sat down and ate the family meal, appears to come from Zaka. Same source as the 40 beheaded babies claim, and pretty much all other suspiciously graphic claims.

Yossi Landau, the head of Zaka, Israel's volunteer emergency response organization as the head of operations for the country's southern region, described the sadistic scene he found after entering a home at Kibbutz Be'eri.

From rybar:

🔻On a similar note, the discussions between American politicians and the head of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, and the expressed desire to hand over control of the Gaza Strip to him after defeating Hamas, are part of the same narrative.

Once the "liberated" territories have rid themselves of 80-90% of the population, someone will need to govern them, and Abbas will be seen as a compliant figure, much like a Gauleiter, who has already demonstrated his effectiveness in managing the West Bank (one only needs to observe the lack of widespread discontent among the local Palestinians).

I guessed this the other day.

Hope there's a coup within the PA.

Sir pls go back to your position. Sir! Sir! gunshots

The US analysis of this will just be "our deterrence measures have been a great success because they have not acted".

In case y'all see anyone trying to claim that Genocide Joe supports Palestinian statehood because he has at some point in the past made a wishy washy statement saying so: there is no defined formal process for recognition of another state in the US. That means that the President can simply issue an executive order recognizing Palestine as a state and set up diplomatic relations. In normal diplomatic practice, this would happen through some sort of agreement with Palestine, but since there is no formal process in US law for how that has to happen, so it falls entirely under the power of the President (and not Congress). So, if Genocide Joe supported Palestinian statehood, he would simply recognize them as a state and exchange ambassadors.

I have to say, if Hezbollah launch a full scale thing today their timing is impeccable compared to IDF progress. I know everyone here was getting antsy and wanted them to move quicker but it's starting to look like waiting for IDF to hit urban fighting is the correct move, and if the "wait til friday" thing was intentionally timed with that prediction in mind then it's shockingly good timing.

Palestine seems like such a beautiful place. Would love to visit when it is free.

Al Jazeera:

Malaysian ambassador to US pressed on Gaza position: PM
Anwar Ibrahim tells parliament the ambassador to the US was summoned by the Department of State and urged to clarify the country’s position in the Israel-Gaza war.

Anwar, 76, has been a staunch supporter of the Palestinian cause, saying at a pro-Palestine rally last week that Israel’s action in Gaza amounted to “barbarism”.

“The Malaysian envoy to the United States was called by the American authorities who questioned our stance on the conflict, especially the violence inflicted by Israel on Gaza,” local media outlet The Strait Times quoted him as saying.

“Our ambassador firmly stated our position,” Anwar added.

The US embassy in Kuala Lumpur earlier issued notices asking Malaysia to use “diplomatic channels” to prevent others from getting involved in the conflict.

In 2013, then-Prime Minister Najib Razak defied Israel’s blockade on Gaza and crossed into the enclave following an invitation from Hamas.

US and Israel considering peacekeeping force in Gaza - report

The US and Israel are considering the possibility of a multinational force that could include American, UK, French troops in the Gaza Strip, in the event that Israeli forces are successful in ousting Hamas, according to a report.

US and Israeli officials exploring options for the future of Gaza have also discussed a second option that would establish a peacekeeping force modeled on one that oversees a 1979 Egypt-Israel peace treaty, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the conversations.

A third option would see Gaza put under temporary UN oversight, it said. The sources noted that the conversations are still at an early stage and much could change.

The US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, alluded to the challenge of coming up with a plan for the future of Gaza when he addressed a Senate panel on Tuesday.

“We can’t have a reversion to the status quo with Hamas running Gaza,” Blinken told the Senate appropriations committee. “We also can’t have — and the Israelis start with this proposition themselves — Israel running or controlling Gaza.” He added, "Between those shoals are a variety of possible permutations that we’re looking at very closely now, as are other countries."

In a highly unusual move, the White House has requested for it to be able to conduct arms deals with Israel in complete secrecy, without oversight from Congress or the public — in a time when the U.S. is supporting a military that experts say has been committing war crimes in Gaza and beyond.

Al-Bakhiti, a political member of Ansarullah Office (Houthis): We are ready to clash with America if needed

Drove by a pro Israel rally. Rally was mayo as shit. Lost my voice so I couldn't yell Free Palestine.

Apparently, Shani Louk, the girl that was at the festival and in the truck video and was eventually confirmed alive and being treated in Gaza, is dead.

I've found very little reliable information on it but it seems the Israeli foreign ministry contacted her mother to tell her they found a DNA-checked "skull fragment" suggesting she was dead since October 7th.

I have literally zero proof of this but I genuinely consider it likely the IDF killed her (most likely through bombings), found her subsequently, and are now lying as usual.

Imagine, if you will, a mining country which doesn't have military might to mow down unions in other parts of the world.
