In this video a resistance fighter gets badly injured, a medic runs to try to help and gets shot at, another Palestinian RUN INTO the cross fire and picks up the gun to shoot back at the IOF forces in order to protect the fighter and the medic. The bravery of these people

According to right-liberal Danish minister of defense Troels Lund Poulsen, the EU will not reach its target of delivering a million artillery shells to Ukraine by March.

The minister is quoted for saying that "Hopefully we can get to the other side of half a million but it's hard to tell" and is calling the situation "serious".

Gabon says the African Development Bank has lifted financial sanctions on it after President Ali Bongo was removed from power in a coup in August. Bongo served two terms as president after the death of his father in 2009, who himself ruled Gabon for 41 years.

...

Two weeks ago U.S. President Joe Biden announced he would stop Gabon participating in the African Growth and Opportunity Act trade programme. It allows Gabon duty-free access to the U.S. market for its exports.

President Biden cited the country's inability to establish or make consistent progress in safeguarding political pluralism and the rule of law.

The famous figure of Borotba, Vlad Voitsekhovsky, suddenly passed away

(Borotba is a revolutionary Marxist organization in Ukraine, and one of the first to protest against the Euromaidan fascists in 2013)

On Sunday, November 12, one of the leaders of Borotba and the founders of the Ukrainian Red Army (UKA), Vlad Voitsekhovsky, suddenly died. He survived in the Odessa House of Trade Unions on May 2, 2014, went through emigration, captivity and fought against neo-Nazis with weapons in their hands in the Donbass.

We have repeatedly written about how he miraculously survived the mass beatings in the Odessa House of Trade Unions, about the repressions that fell upon him from the SBU, demanded his release and held pickets at the Ukrainian Consulate in Almaty.

Then we wrote: “None of the perpetrators of this mass murder were punished or arrested, and vice versa, those who tried to save the lives of their comrades, such as comrade and Borotba activist Vlad Voitsekhovsky, ended up in the dungeons of the SBU. Nazi formations and militants became part of the state apparatus, and it was with the massacre in Odessa that massacres began in Mariupol, Donetsk, Lugansk and other cities of Donbass and Eastern Ukraine.”

Our comrades were glad when, as a result of an international protest campaign, he was released and exchanged. Subsequently, Vlad Voitsekhovsky fought defending the people of Donbass. During the fighting, he received several shell shocks, which only worsened his health, which was already undermined as a result of brutal beatings and torture during the Odessa events, as well as during the period of imprisonment. Most likely, this was the reason for his sudden death on November 12.

Responsibility for his premature death, like many other activists who gave their lives in the struggle, lies entirely with the current Kiev regime, which established the Pinochet regime, banned communist ideology and all left-wing organizations and parties in Ukraine. Vlad Voitsekhovsky is another victim of this far-right terror!

We mourn this fiery comrade and express our sincere condolences to his comrades in Borotba, family and friends! He will forever remain in our memory, being a symbol of unbending will, principled struggle and will be an example for new generations of communists! Sleep well dear comrade!

Piers Morgan to Shakira: "But do your hips condemn Hamas?"

CNN and MSNBC are going to shill hard for this shit all day long. And I expect that - somehow - there won't be any overhead footage if turnout is lower than the expected 10,000s.

Israel retaliated by launching airstrikes on Gaza targeting Hamas, which often uses civilians as human shields. But the bombardment has also killed Palestinian civilians.

Ansarallah reaching based levels beyond comprehension

Just watched an interview on Danish State Media (DR) with their China Correspondant about the meeting between Xi and Biden. According to the "journalist" Xi wants a meeting because China is trying to handle a bunch of crises such as "sluggish economy", "regional disputes with neighbouring countries", "A relationship with Russia that makes China unpopular in Europe" and "a relationship with HAMAS that makes China unpopular in the Middle East".

But remember, propaganda is something that only the bad countries do, and our journalists are getting critiqued by the left and the right, so that must mean that they are "objective".

A talking head on MSNBC just said "Hamas is marbled into the population..."

I'm stealing that. I wonder if I can come up with a Kobe beef joke.

[Edit: Oops.]

The Lebanon front is heating up

Not that I believed their numbers, the IOF is definitely hiding the real numbers of their losses, especially after seeing that video Hamas put out today

Fuck, imagine flying all the way from China and getting fed ravioli, artichoke, chicken, and almond cake by your hosts.

What the shit, saw a news tidbit about Israel dropping leaflets on southern Gaza cities urging people to flee. That’s just more blatant ethnic cleansing.

Every time Biden opens his mouth his aides and the entire dem machine must pray he doesn't make an immense fuckup so bad even MSNBC (etc) can't help him clean it up.

Not the Onion Biden, jack - "It is not carpet bombing. This is a different thing... This is a different story than before, the indiscriminate bombing... It’s not like they’re rushing to the hospital knocking on doors, you know, pulling people aside and shooting people indiscriminately."

Joe Biden defends refusal to call for ceasefire - theguardian.com

Julian Borger

Joe Biden has presented an unapologetic defence of his refusal to call for a ceasefire in Gaza, arguing that Hamas presented a continuing threat to Israel and that Israeli forces were seeking to avoid civilian casualties. After a summit meeting with Chinese president Xi Jinping, Biden told reporters:

Hamas has already said publicly that they plan on attacking Israel again like they did before, cutting babies’ heads off, burning women and children alive. So the idea that they’re going to just stop and not do anything is not realistic.

Reports that Hamas beheaded babies in the 7 October attack on Israeli civilians remain unconfirmed, though the brutality of the massacre in which some 1,200 were killed is not in doubt.

Biden also argued that Israeli forces had switched from aerial bombardment, which he seemed to acknowledge had been “indiscriminate” in parts, to more targeted ground operations, after more than 11,000 Gazans are reported to have died. He said:

It is not carpet bombing. This is a different thing. They’re going through these tunnels, they’re going into the hospital. They’re also bringing in incubators or bringing in other means to help people in the hospital, and they’ve given, I’m told, the doctors and nurses and personnel the opportunity to get out of harm’s way. So this is a different story than I believe it was occurring before, the indiscriminate bombing.

The IDF, Israeli Defence Forces, acknowledge they have an obligation to use as much caution as they can, in going after their targets. It’s not like they’re rushing to the hospital knocking on doors, you know, pulling people aside and shooting people indiscriminately.

Biden also suggested that a possible hostage deal was imminent, saying the Israelis had agreed to a “pause” as part of the deal, but then stopped short, appearing to acknowledge the uneasiness of secretary of state Antony Blinken, finally adding: “I’m mildly hopeful.”

The forcefulness of Biden’s defence of the Israeli military, is notably out of step with recent remarks by senior US officials, who have shifted their emphasis to appeals to the IDF to observe humanitarian law and avoid civilian casualties. It seemed to confirm reports that the president is more unreservedly pro-Israel than many in his administration.

For clarity - I edited it a tiny bit. It's 2023 and the net as we know it is hardly new and the year is not something like 2003. How is it that writers and editors still don't fully understand using quotes on the net???

Is there any truth to the rumors that American troops are on the ground in Gaza? I've heard it a couple times but just as "dude trust me" from random social media accounts

Inglorious Basterds but instead of scalps, Aldo Raine's troops each own him 100 IDF ball sacks.
