    No defence yet, even now, of Assad and Syria on the israpundit site

    Somewhat shameful

    Assad’s time is over. He hasn’t ruled his country in many years, but has seen it turned into a fiefdom from which Iran has exploited his incapacity to more fully wage war against Israel, both directly from Syria and indirectly thru the arms shipped to Lebanon thru Syria. At the same time, the Jihadi forces displacing Assad in the wake of Iran’s diminished controlling interest in Syria, are no allies of Israel. So, as the video I posted a few days ago on the topic of the parties in Syria suggests, this entire struggle in Syria is a bit messy, and Israel’s interests are less clear cut than either of you seem to suggest.

    An important report on Syria and Israel will be posted shortly, just FYI.

    As to Michael’s assertion that

    The US has a strong alliance with [Turkey]!

    it should be recalled that the US tried to overthrow Erdogan, and neither he nor they have overcome this clearly challenging aspect of the so called “strong alliance” between them. Erdogan is not the solution in the Middle East, but the leader of the Sunni Axis, as Avivi explains in today’s IDFS briefing, and as such, his move to fill the void created by the Iran’s imploding suzerainty over the region, should be seen as the very real threat for which it stands.

    So there are no White Hats in this ongoing struggle in Syria. Just a pair of Black Hats fighting it out to see which might rise to try to dominate the region and eliminate Israel.

  2. Yet another “Hello”, Felix. I see you also posted this:

    My reading of situation is that America is behind Turkey and Isis

    Yes, of course the Biden regime supports Turkey! The US has a strong alliance with them! (i.e. NATO).

    If it will bring you comfort, I expect this relationship to go lukewarm, probably after Donald Trump is inaugurated. The Bible predicts this:

    Ezek.38
    [2] Son of man, set thy face against Gog (Erdogan), the land of Magog (Turkey), the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
    [3] And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
    [4] And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
    [5] Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
    [6] Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.
    [7] Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
    [8] After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
    [9] Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.
    [10] Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
    [11] And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
    [12] To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
    [13] Sheba (Yemen), and Dedan (Saudi Arabia), and the merchants of Tarshish (the US and the rest of NATO), with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?
    [14] Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?

    N Korean infantry in the Kursk area

    You seem sure???

    I am not sure they are officially “infantry”; but they are certainly armed foot soldiers.

    North Korean Troops Enter Kursk Where Ukrainians Are Fighting
    Nov. 18, 2024 | By David Vergun, DOD News |

    It is likely that about 11,000 North Korean troops have moved into Russia’s Kursk region, said Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh, who spoke to the media today.

    https://www.defense.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/article/3968230/north-korean-troops-enter-kursk-where-ukrainians-are-fighting/

    The last I read from a Ukrainian blogger (yesterday), the Koreans were combat-unready, with minimal training.

  4. Quigley, You said,

    No defence yet, even now, of Assad and Syria on the israpundit site

    Somewhat shameful

    Apparently, the logjam is Israel, who has been fighting Assad’s ally Hizbullah.

    “Some Hezbollah and Iran-backed Shiite militia fighters were moved from Syria to contend with the Israeli ground invasion in Lebanon in October. Thousands more were killed and wounded by Israeli air raids, ground forces, and special operations like the stunning attacks in September in which thousands of Hezbollah pagers exploded on their owners..’

    https://www.timesofisrael.com/rebels-in-syria-take-advantage-of-israels-successes-against-a-weakened-iran-axis/

    Assad’s other ally, Russia, however, has continued helping the Syrian dictator:

    “Syrian rebels take over Aleppo as Russia pledges to assist Assad regime”

    https://kyivindependent.com/syrian-rebels-take-over-aleppo-as-russia-pledges-to-assist-assad-regime/

    I’m sure others are also supporting Assad. Have you checked up on North Korea?

  5. Hezbollah fires mortars at Israel on day 6 of truce
    The Iranian-backed terrorist organization took responsibility for the attack.

    https://www.jns.org/hezbollah-fires-mortars-at-israel-on-day-6-of-truce/

    US follows France in warning Israel over ceasefire violations
    Restraint “from all sides” is necessary for the truce to hold, U.S. sources told Israeli media.

    https://www.jns.org/us-follows-france-in-warning-israel-over-ceasefire-violations/
    Washington has backed up Paris’s assertions that Israel is violating the terms of last week’s ceasefire agreement with Lebanon, that formally ended 14 months of hostilities with the Hezbollah terrorist group.

    It is NEVER Hizballah’s fault!

  6. History without the socialist revolution has to run it’s calamitous course

    Just like the Irish the road taken by Ben Gurion et al in 1948 comes back to haunt

  7. Hi, Tanna

    Thanks. the whole world is going to hell, and I could not stay informed. But we can now!

    There is an active theater of warm from NW Russia down to Yemen and beyond, involving the same belligerents throughout — from N. Korean infantry in the Kursk area to Turks and their surrogates in NW Syria, to US navy vessels in the Red Sea.. Throughout the war zone, Russia and its allies are opposed to Israel and its allies.

  8. Michael, thanks for your suggesting. I must of had some kind of feed back loop running on my system which redirected my click from anywhere on Israpundt.. As I said every click and path I followed took me to Chit chat. Any who, logged off Israpundit, shut down the system, did a scan and now we can read Polini’s and Ted’s handiwork. Thanks. the whole world is going to hell, and I could not stay informed. But we can now!

  9. Peloni

    “Sarah Netanyahu spends dinner with Trump at Mar-a-Lago.”

    Are you serious Peloni why is that relevant?

    Trump has turned into sweet old grandpa

    He has nothing to say and allows Biden to walk all over him.

    The position of trump to Putin is now as a traitor to American people who wanted peace

    Trump is effectively a Stepan Bandera man now

    He allows these Bandera fascists free rein against Russia without a squeak from him

    Trump is a fool and sure acts like one

    And to be honest this site doesn’t figure any more

  10. What should Assad do?

    Israel had to defend itself and this has weakened the fight against Isis

    Assad must mobilise the Syrian people on a more independent basis and break from Hizbolah and Iran.

    This will work if he turns to the Syrian people

    This is the key to everything in the defence of Syria

    My reading of situation is that America is behind Turkey and Isis

  11. It turns out, the 29th of November was a holiday – The International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.

    The date was chosen in honor of the approval by the UN General Assembly of the Partition Plan for Palestine in 1947 which happened on the 29th of November.

  12. If this had to do with Muslim students, the US Justice Department would have gotten involved by now.

    UCLA Cultural Affairs Commissioner accused of refusing to hire Jews
    Jewish student newspaper leader files complaint after UCLA Cultural Affairs Commissioner tells staff not to hire “Zionists” and creates a blacklist, allegedly resulting in all applicants who identified as Jews to be rejected.
    Gary Willig Dec 1, 2024, 7:56 AM (GMT+2)

    https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/400020

    A day earlier, A Chabad Lubavitch rabbi at UCLA was assaulted by the anti-Israel activists. According to Shabbos Kestenbaum, an American Jew, the students called their victim a “Zionist pedophile rabbi,” and told him to “go back to Poland.”

    Apparently, when they need to insult a Jew, there are no limits to the freedom of speech.

    I would love it if there were 2,000-3,000 aliyah applications A DAY, maybe then the Jewish Agency will wake up.

  13. Hi, Felix.

    Welcome to the Last Days! I’ll give you the latest situation map, though it will probably leave most people here in a state of confusion:

    https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c8/Syrian_Civil_War_map_%28November_29%2C_2024%29.svg.png

    Let’s start with the Golan Heights, and sweep counter-clockwise to the Russian naval base at Tartus (N. of Lebanon, in Syria):

    RED is controlled by Bashar al Assad, the Alawite president of Syria, along with his Russian and Hizbullah allies.

    GREEN is the American toehold

    GREY is the remnant of ISIS

    YELLOW is the Kurds, who are supposedly fighting for and against everyone

    LIGHT GREEN are the Turks, a NATO member, presumably supposedly protecting their border against Kurdish “terrorists”, and

    WHITE are the FSA (Sunni) rebels, supposedly at peace with everyone, who staged the latest invasion.

    In answer to your questions,

    1. Biden, representing the US, has presumably celebrating having just brokered an histori “peace” deal between Israel and Hizbullah. It’s all BS, of course.

    2. The REAL ISIS forces are actually roaming around in eastern Syria; but the main Sunni news sources call everyone who doesn’t support Assad “terrorists”.

    3. Turkey is a NATO member, under US protection. The main US airbase, where we have stationed nuclear weapons, is in Inciliyk, Turkey..

  14. Is this Isis on the move again in Syria? Can anyone comment if they have information on Biden backing Isis and Turkey?

  15. Tanna, I generally get on board like this:

    1. Log in

    2. Under “CHIT CHAT”, I click on “Comments”. This puts the latest posts in the middle-column area and “POST COMMENT” appears.

    3. After posting there to “CHIT CHAT”, followed by “Enterr”, my new comment on CHIT CHAT appears in the side board (but not in the middle column).

    4. To bring up the “Edit Comment” box, I click once more on “Comments” under “CHIT CHAT”

  16. Does anyone have a problem when they try to open an article it will not open and it takes you to a page showing all recent comments and even if I follow the link that says, “Better to view the contents of this Newsletter, Here” it will not allow me to read the articles. This happens from time to time, have never been able to resolve…. after a few days it seems to resolve it’s self. Any Ideals? I even opened a new browser window and put in https://www.israpundit.org – and get the same page of all the latest comments but no ability to open articles. Thanks.

  18. Michael

    Why can your mind not open up to certain points

    I think because of stunted ideology.

    The greatest event was the 1917 Revolution where the WORKERS took power of the state

    This was the key turn in history. The ruling classes got a shattering jolt.

    This is the real meaning of Churchill’s unique hatred of Jews.

    When the Jews in Ukraine joined Trotsky Churchills understanding of that new situation was amazingly acute.

    He went on the attack and adopted the Jewish Bolshevism myth and from there there could be no going back to Lord Balfour. And eventually Balfour was defeated.

    When Trotsky spoke in 1937 these issues were still unresolved.

    But they held the key.

    Agree or disagree?

  19. ADAM-

    In your post very far down the page you suggest, that because many of their delegates were Jews, that the Russian and Ukrainian peasantry were not Anti-Semitic.

    I differ with you in that those same peasants conducted some of the most horrific pogroms against the Jews.

    What the many Jewish delegates immediately suggest to me is that the VAST majority of those same peasants were totally illiterate and needed educated people to represent them’

    Even at the worst of times, Jews were noted for their love of education.

  20. Felix,

    I told you that you are obsessed with Leon Trotsky. If you really thought that being a follower of Trotsky was good, you would not look upon this as an “attack”.

    I have not pointed out this fact in order to “attack” you. i do not have any feeings towards or against Trotsky, a man who was dead long before I was born.

  21. Of course Leon Trotsky is not going to resurrect. But his ideas and those of Marx are at this moment very relevant.

    Attack those who are besotted with Judea if you want but do not attack me.

    That is because those folks were concerned about a system….a bankrupt system and it is still so today…but even more acute.

    Churchill that acutely conscious defender of that system did certainly recognise the truth about what Trotsky et al represented…the ending of his (Churchill system)

    You don’t see that. Too bad for you then.

    Trump has one really historical job to do. Just one.

    That is make Ukraine a neutral state.

    By Ukraine state I mean the rump that’s left.

    Zelensky will 100 per cent be strutting around hell pretty damm soon.

    He could have had it all minus Crimea in April 2012. Too late.

    Nobody has learnt what Russia fire power really is.

    Michael you’re a man of the past. You’re incapable of learning.

    Open your eyes learn from Russia science.

  22. Poland and Ukraine announce that they’ve agreed to facilitate search and exhumation operations on Ukrainian territory of victims of the Volhynia Massacre during WW2.

    Around 70 000 Poles were murdered by UPA, a west-Ukrainian nationalist paramilitary organization, in an organized campaign of mass murder that started on February 9th 1943 and continued until 1945.

    Most of the victims were buried in unmarked mass graves. The Poles have been asking for permission of exhumations for decades, the lack of which has been one of main obstacles in Polish-Ukrainian relations in recent years.

    Commenting on today’s agreement, which was announced after a meeting in Warsaw between Poland’s and Ukraine’s Foreign Ministers, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated:

    “This is the key to full reconciliation between our nations, so necessary at this dramatic moment in our shared history”

    I’m more interested in the above, than in what happened 100 years ago — and I don’t think Leon Trotsky to rise from the dead to save us.

  24. The Jewish people are fighting for existence against world Antisemitism. Somehow they have to hold a parallel idea…that they are also fighting for preservation of all life against the crooked reality of capitalism as it has grown into imperialism, the sharpest expression of the latter is the Ukraine conflict.

    I present to you Mark Sleboda in conversation with Jamarl. Listen to near the end where the sanity of this so-called west…the sanity is THE issue… becomes the focus point in their discussion

    https://youtu.be/3mD6nRirQig?si=KRLTG6fDXKoYo6c8

  25. @Adam D

    No one says that all Ukrainians were antisemites but the years 1918-1921 were a huge mess on the former Russian Empire/future USSR territory, especially in Ukraine.

    To name just a few:

    1) The Civil War (Whites vs. Reds);
    2) The Intervention – the attack by umpteen foreign countries;
    3) the Spanish flu;
    4) other illnesses like typhus, smallpox, etc.
    5) famines
    6) roaming bands (almost always attacking Jews – with Ukraine having probably the largest Jewish population);
    7) the country and its industry, infrastructure, agriculture lying in ruins after 1921 and tens of thousands of orphans roaming the streets;
    8) the country at the time was very rural (~80%) and about the same percent of the population was illiterate;
    9) scores of ethnic populations speaking different languages and with different religions, and many of those not only illiterate but not having any writing systems (alphabets).

    BTW, Trotsky played a huge role in saving this place from total destruction.

  26. Adam

    Perhaps it was like this:

    The Parliament was the enemy of the Bolsheviks. Even though the Bolsheviks programme was in the first instance creating their parliament.

    If that’s correct it follows that political position was everywhere being dominated by the power of the Russian Revolution. It was never a Coup. It was in the air.

    Religion here was dominant especially as peasant life was rather as out of the Middle Age.

    Moving from the west: Roman Catholicism, in the middle Ukrainian Orthodox Church, to east Russian Orthodox Church

    This is the mix out of which emerged the greatest factor in the Pogrom Slaughter

    The Jews came to be blamed for the Russian Revolution

    And that aforementioned factor was “Jewish Bolshevism”…a conspiracy theory which was absolutely lethal and still in 2024 going strong!

    Lenin and Trotsky as part of their political programme development over previous decades presented cast iron opposition to Antisemitism. With deep theoretical basis as well. Their positions unarguable.

    It was this that would win the day and the link up between the Russian Revolution and the fighter Jews in defensive armed organised forces became a reality.

    Trotsky became the actual living embodiment of all of this struggle including the struggle against the pogrom.

    The czarist white armies were overcome, all the imperial encroachment on territory which anticipated the modern neocons, was defeated, the Pogromists were captured tried and shot.

    Antisemitism was put down in that particular space in that time.

    These are great deeds of about 6 full years from 1917 to about 1923 but going back to the dress rehearsal for 1917 of 1905.

    The Ukrainian parliament was torn apart because it could not lead…not unlike the pathetic Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were torn apart.

    But the small working class of Russia and surrounds always very small were ruined by such a consuming effort. Plus defeats internationally

    That caused the retreat which gave rise to Stalinism

    But it is written in our history that

    In this way the Jews found out the only force which would never bend the knee, to save them, and did save them fighting alongside them, was Trotskyism.

    And that remains the case today.

  27. Hi, Adam

    It seems that the Jewish people, especially those living in Israel, have little to gain or lose from the war in the Ukraine — other that the general distress this is foisting on the rest of the world. Neither side in that conflict has exhibited much interest in Israel. As for me, a major interest is the fact that our retirement fund is being gradually emptied to keep it going.

  28. fquigley and Michael, I attempted to post a modest contribution to your debate about Trotsky, But my attention was distracted for a few moments and so my comments failed to post.

    The jist of what I was attempting to post was that even in 1918-19, not all Ukrainians were antisemites, A Ukrainian government was founded in late 1918 in Kiev with considerable working class support. It gave full citizenship to Jews, and also recognized them as a monority with the right to its own autonomous institutions. Specifically, it recognized the right of the Ukrainian Jewish community to form their own militia defend themselves against pogroms and antisemtic attacks, which had already begun as World War I ended. Unfortunately, this progressive Ukrainian government dissolved itself with a year. I don’t know exactly why they disbanded, but I think they were under pressure from other Ukrainian nationalist groups, most of them antisemitic, the Russian “Whites” and even to some extent the “Reds,” who didn’t appreciate rival progressive organizations.

    Other evidence that not all Ukrainians were antisemites may be found in some studies of the delegates elected by the ukrainian peantry to the Constituent Assemby in 1918 and the varoious elections in Ukrainian to the soviets of workers, soldiers and peasants deputies between 1917 and 1919. Some scholar, I can’t remember his name, studies the lists of delegates elected in these elctions from Ukrainian districts found that a large percentage of the delegates elected by Ukrainian peasants were Jews. That was equally true of the delegates elected from ‘great Russians” contitutuencies during these same elections. This uggests that most of the Ukrainian peasantry most most of the Russan peasantry were not antisemites.

  29. Michael

    Felix, you seem absolutely obsessed with Leon Trotsky. Have you considered the possibility that reality is bigger than Leon?

    There is an almost unimaginable level of Antisemitism and I do not see anything whatsoever that you or israpundit is doing or can do to confront this.

    Which is also to confront the reality of a new and different Holocaust.

    You cannot hope to deal with it if you have no history

    You and since they don’t talk about history are about the same.

    In writing your piece which is in front of me you didn’t understand the significance of basically everything

    The Ukrainian state in its founding in 1918 immediately murdered 100 thousand Jews, most likely more, and cleared that vast area of Jews.

    All I mean all in the Jewish movement have ignored this huge event

    Maybe because Trotsky was heavily involved

    Which brings us to his murder in August 1940

    Rather than answer me properly you disparage me (I am obsessed you claim) who not instead discuss rationally

    Show where I am mistaken

    If you’re able to. But you are unable to gather that knowledge.

  30. Felix, you seem absolutely obsessed with Leon Trotsky. Have you considered the possibility that reality is bigger than Leon?

    …if you see at about 49 minutes Eric London addresses who exactly was Agelof and remember Trotsky could have had no idea of this.

  33. Reader

    It is possible to unearth valuable information about spies and provocateurs inside of Zionism. The condition for doing this successfully is that the issue of security is taken seriously by everyone. That means it should be right out in the open as a serious matter.

    Spies were placed inside of the Trotskyist movement, the Fourth International, in the 1930s

    The evidence has to be collected in a nonjudgmental manner. For a long time the prevalent story was that Sylvia Agelof was used by Mercader to get the assassin within striking space. (IE she was the naive exploited woman) Recent study using empirical facts leads in a very different direction.

    I have to look up the link

  34. I am CONVINCED (after following the events in Israel for the last 30-35 years) that there are traitors embedded in the highest reaches of Israel’s government, IDF, law, and security services.

    The goal is to dismantle the state, slowly but surely.

    The problem is that this goal is not only suicidal, it is homicidal because the ensuing Holocaust will engulf and destroy BOTH Israel and the Diaspora.

    The reason I think it is done deliberately is that I cannot imagine that anyone can be SO INCREDIBLY DUMB as to keep doing what they are doing without any evil intent.

    The recent news when the agreement was still tentative:

    https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/more-reports-indicate-israel-has-given-tentative-okay-to-lebanon-ceasefire/

    “Ynet and Haaretz are also now reporting that Israel has given its non-final okay to a ceasefire in Lebanon.

    The reports note that not all issues have been resolved, but say Jerusalem has approved the main tenets of the proposal.

    Haaretz reports that the proposal will include three stages: a truce followed by Hezbollah removing its forces north of the Litani River; an Israeli pullout from southern Lebanon; and finally, Israeli-Lebanese negotiations on demarcation of contested border areas.”

    Israel is going to trade land for peace of the grave AGAIN!

    10,856 sq mi (28,120 km2) = Chicago Metropolitan Area

    8,522 or 8,019 sq mi (20,770 km2) = Israel!!! (without Judea & Samaria)

    For the last 40 years Israel has been giving away its land piece by piece and playing the game of “indigenous Palestinian Arab people, disputed lands, lands occupied by Israel, Arab refugees, proportionate response, painful concessions, diplomatic solutions (same as painful concessions, same as land giveaways), being merciful to the enemy civilians while the enemy has no mercy on Israeli civilians, begging for compassion, assuming guilt for everything wrong everywhere, etc.”

    The truce with Hizballah is going to be signed TOMORROW!

    They will sign it after:

    https://www.timesofisrael.com/woman-lightly-wounded-as-hezbollah-fires-rockets-and-drones-at-center-north/?utm_campaign=most_popular&utm_source=website&utm_medium=article_end&utm_content=8

    Lebanese official says ‘no serious obstacles’ remain in way of Israel-Hezbollah truce
    https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/lebanese-official-says-no-serious-obstacles-remain-in-way-of-israel-hezbollah-truce/ He says one sticking point on who will monitor the ceasefire has been resolved in the last 24 hours by agreeing to set up a five-country committee, including France and chaired by the United States.

    A Lebanese official and Western diplomat tell Reuters that the US has informed Lebanese officials a ceasefire could be announced “within hours.”

    I am sure the 5-country committee will protect Hizballah from Israel while Hizballah shoots an occasional barrage of rockets (which they will have every right to keep) all over Israel.

  35. Michael

    I had difficulty registering so I made a change and along with a new password I became able to be registered and thereby comment again.

    You write

    Ukraine, since around 1990, has been an independent country. Before that, it was under the control of the Communists — a wicked people, who were responsible for the suffering and murder of tens of millinons. Before that, the western part of the country, including what used to be called “Galicia”, was part ot Poland. This was the situation from the end of WWI until the beginning of WWII. At that time, the Communists from the Soviet Union and the Nazis from Germany invaded both Poland and western Ukraine and divided them between themselves; during WWI and the Bolshevik Revolution, those same two groups had done the same thing.

    As I suspected your take is full of errors

    These Ukrainians were given their independence by Lenin as part of the politics of the Russian Revolution. This was an international political campaign by the Russian Revolution. For example read Lenin and Trotsky response to the Irish rebellion of 1916

    However having been gifted an independent state they sought to make war on the Russian Revolution and also engage in butchering a great number of Jews. This was the Pogroms of 1919 to 1921. Seems like at least 100,000 Jews were massacred by these Ukrainians.

    And much more. But that is enough for now.

  36. Hello Felix, or whoever you are. I addressed you as “Quig”, because it sounded more a name than “f”. If you prefer that I use your Gaelic handle, please tell me what it is.

    I have no idea what beef you have against Adam and me. Against us both, you said,

    You and Adam are one big agency which excuses the terrible crimes against Jews in Ukraine.

    Why have you never dealt with that?

    I can;t speak (or un-speak, as you seem to prefer) for Adam. i only know that decent fellow, through what he says here. I have not been hired by any “agency”, or any such thing. Adam and I are friends of Israel, quite on our own initiative.

    Concerning Ukraine, I don’t know why an Irishman like you should be concerned about what happened there in bygone days. I certainly have no reasxon to delve into these matters; but if you want my personal history in the country, it is this:

    Ukraine, since around 1990, has been an independent country. Before that, it was under the control of the Communists — a wicked people, who were responsible for the suffering and murder of tens of millinons. Before that, the western part of the country, including what used to be called “Galicia”, was part ot Poland. This was the situation from the end of WWI until the beginning of WWII. At that time, the Communists from the Soviet Union and the Nazis from Germany invaded both Poland and western Ukraine and divided them between themselves; during WWI and the Bolshevik Revolution, those same two groups had done the same thing.

    Before WWI, as later, your long lost ancestors were smoking pipes with the leprechauns in Ireland, so I can’t expect you to have any knowledge of the times. As for the Ukrainian people, be they Ruthenians, Cossacks, Poles or Jews, those in the east suffered under the Russians and those in Galician and the rest of the West gained their independence alongside the Poles — but as I’ve said already, you probably know nothing of those times in Eastern Europe. As I seem to have read somewhere, the Irish were busy with matters of their own.

    From the 18th Century until WWI, the people of Western Ukraine were under the Austrian part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Those in the East, as in later days, were oppressed by the Russians and their Cossack allies. In the early 18th Century, this land had belonged to Poland, until the Russians, Austrians and Prussians carved the country up among themselves.

    My ancestors lived in that land in those days, in a Galician stetl in what was then called Stanislau. Like many of their countrymen, they were Jews — a people you also seem to be unfamiliar with.

  37. Katz approved the other appointments recommended by the Chief of Staff. One of them is Brigadier General Eliad Moati as commander of the Ground Forces Training Center. Moati, a graduate of Mekhinat Eli and a native of Elkana, was the commander of the Border Protection Corps on October 7, and by virtue of his position, he was responsible for the female observers and their operations in the sector. Katz approved the appointment despite the demand of the female observers’ families to arrest him.

  38. Intro…Israpundit editors are helping promote the falsification of the cruelty meted out to Jews in Ukraine over centuries in order to hide the REALITY OF UKRAINE TODAY…For example Adam lines up with the EU yesterday to attack Russia and defend the Fascists around Zelensky (Azov, Right Sector) who still control the Zelensky narrative to transform this border dispute into World Nuclear Conflagration. In ways not as yet explored, thus not understood, these attacks on behalf of Zelensky chime in with the attacks of World Antisemitism of the ICC to isolate, set up and overthrow PM Netanyahu. All of the Jewish elites ruling tops are working might and main to separate these huge issues and huge struggles

    And Adam’s Jew Betrayal assertions and posts are given free uncontested play from all the Jews on israpundit. Not one person speaks out. This is the actual living real modus operandum now on Israpundit.

    [The actual role of Adam and Michael on Israpundit is to work to hide the known and tragic history of the Jews in Ukraine over a very long time to provide succour to the Fascists in Ukraine today, ultimately working on behalf of Biden and Sullivan and of Big Soros Capital]
