Perfect example of why no one should ever trust Tel Aviv's claims of having "defeated Hamas"... Snip:

The Israeli army announced on 18 September that four Israeli soldiers were killed during clashes with the Palestinian resistance in Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah a day earlier.

Several others were injured in the fighting in southern Gaza, including an officer who is in serious condition, an Israeli army statement said.

The four were killed after stepping into a building rigged to blow by the resistance in Rafah’s Tal al-Sultan neighborhood.

[...]

The operation came the week after Israel claimed the Rafah battalion of Hamas’ Qassam Brigades was defeated.

This New York Post article claims that he "championed left-wing causes", but does not provide any evidence for that. However, it does reveal him to be a Neocon warmonger. Snip:

Routh is also a staunch supporter of Ukraine and Taiwan in their respective conflicts against Russia and China. He claims on X that he tried to “sell” the idea of having former Afghanistan troopers fight for Ukraine in Russia, but was denied multiple times before giving up after six months.

He also visited Kyiv and claimed that he would be willing to fight on the front lines, if he were permitted to.

He was also a supporter of nuclear warmonger Nikki Haley's presidential campaign.

Tel Aviv's assassination of resistance commander Fuad Shukr came at a high cost for the apartheid regime. Snip:

Hezbollah’s retaliatory attack against two Israeli military and intelligence sites in late August resulted in dozens of casualties, European security sources told Al Mayadeen on 12 September.

Operation Fortieth Day, as it was dubbed by the Lebanese resistance, targeted Glilot base – the headquarters of Israel’s Unit 8200 – and the Ein Shemer airbase.

The operation was “substantially successful … with fatalities reaching 22 and 74 members injured,” Al Mayadeen cited the European sources as saying.

Snip:

Amid the ongoing violence in the Middle East and the NATO-fueled proxy war against Russia in Ukraine, the US military is reportedly eying a new front amid Washington's attempts to save the unipolar world order.

The US Navy’s elite Seal Team 6 is training for missions to “help” Taiwan if tensions between the island and the PRC go hot.

Sources told the Financial Times that planning and training for a Taiwan escalation has been underway “for more than a year” at Seal Team 6’s Dam Neck, Virginia Beach HQ.

The training, which coincides with increasingly systematized deployments of US special forces in Taiwan, comes amid the US military and intelligence community’s broader refocus on China.

The US/British imperialists carried out another "humanitarian intervention" -- this time killing two schoolgirls in Yemen.

Snip:

Airstrikes launched by US and UK fighter jets against Yemen on 10 September killed two girls and injured seven others at a school.

The girls’ school which was bombed is located in the Taaziya district of Yemen’s southwestern Taiz province.

“The school in the Al-Jund area was hit by two missiles from US and UK aircraft,” local sources told Al Mayadeen.

Things aren't going so well for Tel Aviv. Snip:

The Israeli regime's former prime minister Ehud Barak says Israel is closer to defeat than to achieving a victory in the Gaza Strip, calling Benjamin Netanyahu a "crazy gambler."

According to a report by Israeli media outlets on Sunday, Barak acknowledged that Israel is faltering in Gaza, lacking both a strategy and a clear plan of action.

[...]

The former Israeli premier further criticized Netanyahu’s decision to maintain a military presence in the strategic Philadelphi Corridor with Egypt, saying his insistence to stay there is a futile attempt that has nothing to do with the reality on the ground.

The anti-democratic "Democratic" Party political machine has happily leaped into bed together with the most evil Neocon monsters on the planet. Either vote for a left-wing third party presidential candidate or boycott this farcical election.

Snip:

Cheney was a charter signatory to the notorious neoconservative think tank Project for the New American Century, and as vice president played a leading role in the George W Bush administration’s soaring warmongering, militarism and authoritarianism, including most famously the invasion of Iraq. He has the blood of millions of people on his hands, and he should be living out the rest of his miserable life in a cage.

[...]

The Cheneys join a growing list of formerly Republican warmongers who are migrating to the Democratic Party in droves to support Harris. Last month hundreds of staffers who served under Republicans George W Bush, John McCain and Mitt Romney signed a letter endorsing Harris, saying that “re-electing President Trump would be a disaster for our nation.”

Caitlin Johnstone nailed it. Snip:

The Biden-Harris administration is knowingly helping the Israeli government wage a campaign of extermination in Gaza that has shocked and horrified the entire world, so obviously the real villain we need to focus on here is Jill Stein.

No serious person believes a bunch of socialists and peaceniks are going to vote for a capitalist warmongering party. Democrats don’t bitch about the Green Party because of lost votes, they do it because they hate being reminded that their party’s a lie and their values are fake.

Democrats saying the Green Party steals their votes makes as much sense as Republicans saying the Green Party steals their votes. The Democratic Party is not a left wing party. It’s a warmongering capitalist party that is presently engaged in genocide and nuclear brinkmanship.

Nkosi Zwelivelile Mandela made a great statement today to Sputnik at the Eastern Economic Forum. Snip:

“We not only defeated the Apartheid regime in South Africa, but we defeated its allies as well. You know that the United Kingdom through Margaret Thatcher as well as the United States of America through Ronald Reagan’s administration supported the Apartheid regime to the hilt. But our friends, through our darkest days in the struggle for liberation, like Russia, China and many others in the international solidarity movement who rallied behind the anti-Apartheid campaign, ensured that they gave full support to our cause to defeat the Western imperialist agenda. And what we are seeing in multipolarity is a continuation of that,” Mandela told Sputnik on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum on Thursday.

“Many countries do not want to continuously be bowing down to their colonial masters and settler colonialists” today Mandela said, pointing to the example of the Palestinians and their struggle for liberation and statehood.

Snip:

On Tuesday, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs rejected the confiscation of the Venezuelan presidential plane and demanded its return to Caracas.

“We stand in solidarity with our Bolivarian friends in their legitimate demands to return what was stolen from the Venezuelan state,” the Russian diplomatic office said, noting that the excesses in the sanctions policy applied by Washington “have no limits.”

“Once again, there has been a total disregard for international legal norms,” it added, emphasizing that the United States has sent a new signal that it can appropriate the assets of other sovereign states.

Tel Aviv continues not only attacking Gaza, but the West Bank as well.

Snip:

“The water is cut off. The electricity is cut off, the sewage system is no longer working. All the infrastructure is destroyed, we no longer have any services that work."

The regime's forces have killed at least 20 Palestinians, including a person with disabilities and several children, in the northern West Bank since the regime has launched its deadly raid on several cities in the northern West Bank, according to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA).

Some exciting BRICS news.

Snip:

Palestine’s ambassador in Moscow, Abdel Hafeez Nofal, said on 26 August that Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas had received an invitation from President Vladimir Putin to attend the upcoming BRICS summit.

“After our first participation in the BRICS summit, we will send a request to join this association,” Nofal revealed.

Note, this year's BRICS summit will be held in Kazan, the capital city of the Russian Federation's Republic of Tatarstan.
