"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks." -- Thomas Jefferson

If The Pro-Israel Position Was Based On Truth And Morality, It Wouldn't Depend On Lies And Slander MikeRivero Thu, 12/07/2023 - 09:42

If your position is based on truth and morality, you don’t need to make up lies to defend it, and you don’t need to hurl false accusations at those who disagree with it.

If your position was based on truth and morality, you wouldn’t need to circulate bogus atrocity propaganda about decapitated babies, babies cooked in ovens, and murdered pregnant women.

US National Security Council Spokesperson John Kirby on Wednesday said that Washington does not endorse a permanent ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza Strip, claiming that the Palestinian militants could regroup during a truce. 

  • The UN special rapporteur on the right to health says the “practice of medicine is under attack” in Gaza.
  • The Palestine Red Crescent Society says its ambulance services in northern Gaza have come to a standstill.
  • UN chief Guterres invokes seldom-used Article 99 to force the Security Council to address war in Gaza, warning of deepening “catastrophe”.
  • At least 17,177 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since October 7.

Lawyers instructed by the Arab Organisation for Human Rights in the UK (AOHR) have today written to UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron requesting that he apply Magnitsky sanctions against Israel’s Finance Minister, Bezalel Smotrich, and Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir. The letters state that the Israeli ministers should be designated as “involved persons” under the UK’s Global Human Rights Sanctions, or Magnitsky sanctions regime for involvement in serious violations of basic human rights.

Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen criticized the address of UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres to the UN Security Council demanding to discuss a humanitarian ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. According to Cohen, Guterres’ activity as a Secretary General threatens peace on the planet, and his remarks equal to support of Palestinian radicals from the Hamas movement.
